Yes friends, it’s true. When I’m not writing, I cook to relax. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much chance to cook lately. I’ve been quite busy trying to get this new romance series off the ground. Once the first book is complete and the series goes into a sort of autopilot, I should have more time.

I cooked this lentil soup last weekend. It was only the second time I tried it, and I came pretty close to it being as good as any I’ve ever tasted. I think I used just a tiny bit too much salt. Other than that, it was great. I’m confident the next time I try it, I’ll have it all nailed down.

This type of soup is yummy, filling, and quite easy to make. Along with some feta cheese and fresh bread, it makes a fabulous meal. There are several recipes online, each as good as the other, so if you want to give it a try, I highly recommend it.

As far as my latest book, the second draft is complete. Now I just have to take care of a few things and it should be ready to go on sale. See my last update below for more details.

Hello friends. This is what flew by my window yesterday. It’s always fun to see this blimp float by. It was actually very close, so it wasn’t like I had to take this picture and enlarge it very much

It’s down here, prowling the coast of South Florida quite often. I see it about once every six months or so on average.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I just finished a whole bunch of household chores—everything from going through the week’s mail to doing the Laundry. Right now, I’m watching the AFC championship football game. Later, I’ll cook a yummy lentil soup for dinner.

Hopefully, every one of you is enjoying your weekend as much as I am. Relax, enjoy, and have an exceptionally good time, whatever you’re doing. Catch ya next time.
