A Relaxing Evening

My dear cousin sent me Pioneer Woman's recipe book. This is no ordinary cookbook. It is a book full of short stories, frozen frames from daily life in the ranching business, and lots of good food! It's like a comfortable coffee conversation with a friend. In line with the food topic, I had some frozen chunks of pumpkin in my freezer and had been wanting to make a creamy soup out of it. This I did. I took my new book and my soup experiment (no tomato next time I think) out to enjoy the summery spring day on 'my' front porch.
