Ten Favorite Soups
1. Black Bean Soup from the Columbia Restaurant in Tampa, Florida. This soup is hearty and is usually served over a bit of white rice and chopped onion on top.
2. Spanish Bean Soup the Signature Soup from the Columbia Restaurant in Tampa, Florida. This is a wonderful soup and probably my most favorite soup in the world. This soup and The Original “1905″ Salad make a marvelous dinner.
3. Homemade Chicken and Rice/Noodle soup. I like to put a bit of carrots in mine.
4. Lentil Soup. Homemade is the best…and I can make a decent lentil soup.
5. French Onion Soup – While I do like this soup it is one that I rarely make.
6. Fish Soup from Jordan Pond Restaurant in Acadia National Park. It was the best I’ve ever eaten – then last year while at SPA in Freeport, Maine – one of my friends brought some back from some Chowder/Soup place and it was just as good.
7. Portuguese Kale Soup – Ate this soup the very first time I was in New England when I was in my 20s and have loved it ever since. It is hearty! And, filling.
8. Butternut Squash Soup – I discovered this about a year ago – and I really really like it.
9. The Veggie Soup at my local Chinese restaurant - China Delight. This soup is composed of: Chicken broth with the following raw veggies added: water chestnuts, broccoli, snow peas, mushrooms, and carrots.
10. The Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana. This soup and garlic bread and I’m a happy camper.
Carole at Carole Knits does a wonderful job of finding tops for Ten on Tuesday…do drop by and see what others have to say about their favorite soups.

10 Things You Do Every Day
1) Make my bed. I’m sure Killian could care less if the bed is made or not. But, I do. I deserve to have a nicely made bed to crawl into every night. If I liked to wash clothes and weren’t such an environmentalist – I’d have fresh linens every day just cause they feel and smell good.
2. I take my asthma and allergy medications – as well as my diabetic meds. To be honest, I have gotten much better about taking all my medications.
3. I play at least five games of WII bowling. It is my exercise! I really get into it too. There are a few of us who bowl every night – one of them is a little lady that is 89 and she can out bowl all of us!
4. I knit. Knitting is like breathing for me – if I am sitting my hands are full of yarn and needles.
5. Spend time with Killian. He really enjoys the time – we play, get treats, and in general have a nice day. We also like to take a nap together – but not every day.
6. Get outdoors. It doesn’t matter if the weather is rainy, cold or gorgeous – I need to be outside for a little while.
7. Cook and eat well. Getting better at cooking some cool meals.
8. Read – not a day goes by that I don’t read. I would not be able to sleep if I didn’t read. Books are such a huge part of my life.
9. Drink tea or hot chocolate – It is my way of stopping drinking sodas.
10. Connect on Facebook with family and friends.
So, what do you do every single day????
