One lonely little cookie left this morning on the Christmas cookie plate from daughter. Took It's picture, then ate it! Barely a bite, but it was good! Now, back to eating sensibly.

You show cold, I'll show warm. Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Brrr. Super-cold again. Thinking about this warms me a bit.

January 9, we'll be back in St. Thomas. This is a view from a cruise ship of the harbor and houses in Charlotte Amalie.

Heere's mine of St Thomas :o)

Glenda,
I think you might have been in St. Thomas about the same time as we were. Compare the photos.

Moni - that soup looks delicious, my kind of yummy! Can you share the recipe?

My, what a talented bunch of photographers you all are. Thanks for posting your pics.

Stacy, no recipe! I just toss stuff together, and it usually tastes GREAT. :)

Moni

Moni - I can guess the main ingredients from looking at your photo. Should be easy to put together. Looks like it would be inexpensive, tasty and nutritious!

Stacy,

I have more time now, and thus, here it is:

I started by browning the brats, added chopped garlic, and carrot slices, then the chopped up cabbage simmered all for a bit, then added chicken stock. That's the stock I had at hand.

simmered till the whole house smelled yummy... ;)

I had one package of sausage, I think it was 6
a BUNCH of garlic, almost a whole garlic
I think it was 4 large carrots
and there were two heads of cabbage, and finally
1 container of chicken stock

Hope this helps.

Moni

Thank you, Moni. I will try that recipe. Cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables.
