In the month of November, whilst I left my wonderous crowd of readers waiting, I did alot of fantastic things.

By request today's photo is also my first ever recipe post. This is  not my recipe, I think I got in the mail once (junk mail) but it's THE BEST potato soup in existence.

Cook potatoes in the 2C water until tender. Drain, but remember to reserve 1 C of the liquid for later use (water may be added if needed). Set both aside. In the pot you're going to cook it all in melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and cook stirring frequently until onion is translucent and tender, but not brown. Add flour to pan, season with pep
