Tom Kha with Baby Eggplant

Something happened today that reminded me of my blog. Something told me “you’ve got a blog, girl!”. I don’t know precisely what but I have the feeling that has something to do with me feeling relaxed again. With having time to cultivate and hobby, with not feeling stressed.

10 Amazing Vegetarian Soups to Kick Off the New Year
