What made me happy today? All the pretty colours!
It's fall, and the leaves are changing colour. As I was driving home, it was rather sunny, and I noticed some very lovely landscapes too :-)
All those pretty colours are one of the reasons I love fall so much.

Hoodie
What made me happy today? Hoodie!
Ah, it's fall. The leaves are changing colour, there's more rain, the mornings are colder. Which means it's time to break out the hoodies again! I love hoodies! They're warm, comfortable, make me happy and are just awesome.
I usually change into one after I get home :-)
This is my favorite hoodie:
And hoodies are great in situations like this! I was eating a sandwich while on vacation in the Ardennes. BF managed to get a hold of my iPod and started annoying me with it. I used my hoodie to hide :-)
"Stop taking pictures of me!"
"No? Okay, well, then I'll hide!"

Soup
What made me happy today? Soup!
I love soup :-) It's easy to make, healthy, delicious and you can make a lot of it in one go! Which is really great, because if you have a freezer, you can freeze separate portions. That way, you can pop a portion in the microwave oven and have something warm to eat in minutes! Great if you're pressed for time.
Fall is finally here, and along with winter, these are the ideal seasons for soup. Of course, I can eat soup any time :-)
So here's the recipe for one of my favorite soups: mushroom soup, Hungarian style.
Ingredients:
-4 tablespoons unsalted butter
-2 cups onions (chopped)
-1 lb fresh mushrooms (sliced)
-2 teaspoons dill weed (dried)
-1 tbsp paprika
-1 tbsp soy sauce
-2 cups vegetable broth
-1 cup milk
-3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-1 tsp salt
-black pepper (ground, taste)
-2 teaspoons lemon juice
-1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
-1/2 cup sour cream
Directions:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute the onions in the butter for 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 5 more minutes. Stir in the dill, paprika, soy sauce and broth. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk and flour together. Pour this into the soup and stir well to blend. Cover and simmer for 15 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Finally, stir in the salt, ground black pepper, lemon juice, parsley and sour cream. Mix together and allow to heat through over low heat, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not boil, boiling will cause the soup to curdle. Serve immediately and enjoy!
