I'm here...and I have some soup on the stove......
...I don't know if it's going to taste good. I'm keeping my fingers crossed....I'm tasting it every so often and adding more herbs and spices. If I keep doing this, there will be more flavorings than anything else in the soup.
...it better at least be edible because there's a lot of food there and I don't want to waste it (I cook often, but soup is NOT my strong point)...
...
*sigh*
