It has been snowing non stop for two days and it is so beautiful. Why is it that after it snows there is this sort of tranquility in the atmosphere? I went out for the first time today in over a week, 🙁 and had a lovely walk with Charlie…feeling better day by day. This was Charlie’s first experience with the snow, running, playing, eating snow.
I thought I would add one more soup to my Soup Series, Chickpea Soup. Simple, yet tasteful and a favorite soup in Greece after the famous Fasolada/Bean Soup.
