Today I was thinking...
What is something I have NEVER posted to my blog before?
& it came to me..
MY GLASSES!!
Although I do not wear glasses in my photos,
I wear my glasses everyday!
They are a bit more convenient for me at the moment~
They are Chanel glasses! They are a silver/gun metal color!
I got this color because they were a little less flashy then the
silver& black version of these glasses ^.^
I ventured out into the snow for all these pictures :3There were light snowflakes drifting around~~
You can see some in my hair ~!
Ha ha... I look like a *complete* nerd in glasses 8D
Snow always looks so beautiful in pictures..
Snow is something that *many* people tell me
they are jealous I can see!!
But let me tell you, pictures and real life experience
are nothing a like!!
I find snow to be completely horrible!!
It's freezing, sends chills to your bones,
gets your clothes damp and icy, the cold winter breeze
sends a pain through your eyes that makes you believe
they are going to fall out of your sockets...
Ahhhh.....!!
HOW TO make broccoli cheddar soup!!
I hear many people say constantly, "I can't cook!"
Honestly, I think everyone can do this~~
It's just a matter of reading directions and following them precisely~~
Let's cook OK guys!! You can do it ^.^
INGREDIENTS LIST:
Before you start cooking you must prepare all your veggies!
-Cut the carrots julienne style. This means thin strips~
( plz google image if not sure)
-cut the broccoli as you would for stir fry
-cut the onions as pictured below~
-Next add your cream, chicken stock, broccoli, carrots, and onions!!
It should look like the picture above~~
-Cover and cook on low for about 20 mins until the veggies are cooked ^.^
-In the next step use a hand blender to puree the soup into a thick mixture!
You can make it chunky or smooth depending on how you like it~
-If you do not have a hand blender pour your soup into a regular blender and puree!
