Vichyssoise

Cold soup

I have been revisiting a Gladys Taber book and told the Bennie about the soup ,told him I would like to try it.

He read the recipe and said I don't know about Vichyssoise but I can sure make Potato and Leek Soup and you can eat it cold if you want to but I will have mine hot.

Will what can one do he is just a good old southern boy. We just call it delicious Potato Leek Soup.

What Fun

I have been just sitting and watching my new screen saver of the family pictures I have put on my blog at sometime or other with a post.

As you all know I have been working on ( parts of the person I am) genealogy. As I do my research I get it on Ancestry.com. My great great grandfather had 12 children ,so it has been exciting to find what happen to them and their children. I have made contact with so many family members I would have never known. This is a picture in 1930 of my great grandfathers niece and her son in his cleaning business.
This is a 4th great grandfather from a different side of the family we could not find until now.1792---1861
