---Hand extending from the heavens---- I took this picture while on Soloman's Island Md. in 2010. It stopped me cold for a few minutes.

just soup

Last night was chilly and rainy.    While getting my packing done in many plastic tubs for Christmas,   aah for at least 9 1/2 months anyway (gonna start decorating early this year as it takes me forever to get it done).
  I checked my cupboards and brought out my dried baby Lima's,  Campbell's tomato soup and from out of the freezer some chopped left over ham from Christmas.   I put them all together in my pressure cooker that I can not do without now.   No advertisement here - just the plain truth.  I got over my fear of them after using this one.

I like the fact that I didn't have to soak the beans,  I just rinsed them.

after throwing all in cooker,  I cooked for 17 minutes and then let the pressure go down on it's own as I wanted it to sit a few minutes - served with buttered french bread for me and it was SO good.

Today I am having soup again ( just seems to be the weather for it here as it's gloomy and grey.)
I love Bear Creek soups and I have the minestrone that I put in my pressure cooker along with 8 cups water.    Pressure cooked for 6 minutes - so good.
Check out the mismatched dinnerware - I just noticed it, just me for dinner anyway.
Happy Saturday
