Mama Moment: Love Water Last night while I was at my writing desk working, my little Sety comes up behind me and hands me a cool glass of water that he lovingly poured into one of my Great Grandmothers glasses and topped it off with a sweet strawberry on the side and said "Ya Ya you are a hard worker"..oh my..at that moment I could honestly say that was the most refreshing drink of water I have ever had because our little Sety poured it from the heart...I love that little munchkin...He's my little chef! & then it was his bedtime and he wasn't too happy about that. They can turn on you quick. LOL:). I made him this paper chef hat and he wears it when calls himself "making soup" It's so funny because he sits and watches the Food Network adamantly.:)

I have been cooking, but it is still not on the creative level that I would like to incorporate on the daily. I still find myself leaning on the "usuals" more than less during the week. Here are some snippets of what I've been mixing up.I made this Thai Coconut Soup Seen below at the bottom, and instead of using chicken I used shrimp or you can leave out the meat entirely & if you do not use chicken broth just use vegetable broth. I also made egg drop soup recently which I think I will make more of in the winter (you can use an egg replacer and vegetable broth...yum!). I served ours with fried wonton wrappers: just take your wonton wrappers and slice the into strips lengthwise and then cut your strips in half again, then fry them in some light oil and serve with your favorite soy sauce or a sweet chili sauce.
