Had the first beans and cornbread of the season. It's been nice and chilly here. My mom made them for dinner last night, nice brown beans seasoned with the leftover ham bone from Easter that was in the freezer. She made cornbread in the cast iron skillet with cream corn. We also had some canned mixed greens.

I love soups. Most of my favorite dishes are soups. And I always lose weight eating them because they are usually made from healthy ingredients, have alot of fiber, and alot of volume that fills me up with less calories. I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds this fall/winter. I've lost over 30 since October last year.

I just hope my uncle brings me some more deer meat this winter so I can have vegetable venison soup with home canned tomatoes for my birthday. I also hope my cushaws in the garden right now do well so I can make soup and some pies from those.
