broccoli soup and batman

Good morning! This flower was the brightest thing I saw on my run today.

The skies were pretty eerie when I set out for a quick five miles. I kept a steady pace and threw in some sprints (example: speed to the pole! sprint to the next stop light! push it to the top of the hill!) along the way.

I checked in on the downtown area just to make sure the Batman building (that one with the two spikes on the left) was still there. Random: I watched this Halloween episode of Community last night and loved Abed as Batman (goofy clip).

Any other Community fans out there? I just started and think it’s pretty funny.

Anyways – back to the run! I spotted this telephone booth and considered calling someone but realized I had no change. And more importantly there was actually no phone to use.

Moving on with one of the most random posts I’ve ever written (I’ll make it up to you with a post dedicated to a loaf of bread later today): SOUP!

This white bean-broccoli soup has been a favorite ever since the first time I made it. It’s stupid easy and so good.

You might notice that the recipe doesn’t call for bacon. But when is bacon a bad idea?

Perfect Sunday night meal. PS: do you like my new placemats? On sale at Target for $2.50. We keep it classy around here.

Served with a big slice of buttery multigrain bread!

Speaking of which, I’ll be back later today with a recap of my latest loaf. See you soon!

• Community fans: Should I keep watching? Does it get better or worse?
• Target or Walmart?
• What are you going to dress up as for Halloween?!
