Tuffy P and Suzanne G have crossed the border at Buffalo after viewing loads of art all around NY State during the past few days. I promised dinner upon their return and I have soup simmering on the stove.

Today I made one of our faves, a Portuguese soup called Caldo Verde. It’s made with Portuguese Chourico sausage, onions, potatoes and collard greens. I just tasted it and as expected, it’s super-delicious. I’ve got some fresh crusty bread which I’ll toast up in the oven and drizzle with some Salah’s Gold olive oil, and I’m making a simple salad.
