I love that you found her photograph from a “secondary source” but agreed, we know in our hearts who are ancestors to be.

Also, sign me up for that soup and the white cheddar popcorn topper ~ I stand there’s nothing like potato chips to make soup sing.

Am going to try that red pepper soup -- have to shop for the cocoanut milk --

Wonderful story. I also like soup recipes that call for coconut milk.

Its creamy texture helps thicken soup, too!

Another wonderful story from your remarkable mom, Amie! I enjoy that TJ’s soup too, but I never thought of making it till now. Love the idea of topping it with a shower of white cheddar popcorn!🍜

So much in every post, Amie! I identify with having that one knife that is ‘the one’ I’ve had mine for 35 years! Wonderful post.

I had to chuckle at the thought of my mom driving around with her knife.
