Taking time out from the hustle and bustle of life.
To have a late lunch with a friend. Chilled carrot soup with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream; sandwiches of cream cheese and cucumber and jalapeno wrap filled with seasoned kidney beans.
Green tea, grapes and figs for dessert,
along with the moistest, most delicious date cake ever. The frosting was out of this world!

I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

Looks delicious and oh, so relaxing. Good for you! :)
I don't think I've ever had a chilled soup. Bet it's nice on a hot day.
oh man!...EVERY time you talk food, you make me hungry!, and did you notice that there is no need for meat for a yummy, delicious meal?! You are so lucky! Now I'M in the mood for some cucumber sandwiches! :o))
have a great day!
Hi Tammy,

I've never had a chilled soup either. Those sandwiches look delicious! It's always nice to have time out for lunch with a friend.
Hi Tammy, the menu sounds delicious, I hope you had a great afternoon of Wednesday, Rose Marie
Dearest Tammy,
Your food looks always so yummy and that being presented on such an elegantly crocheted placemat/doily!
Lots of love,
Mariette
Wonderful! Everything looks divine. :)
Unfortunately, my Wednesday was spent, for the most part, fretting over the threat of severe weather yet again. We really need a good month or so with no rain or storms. I'd rather water than to have to be so stressed over the threat of severe weather which is all we seem to be having this spring.
I'm hopeful that tomorrow will be a better, calmer day and am looking forward to the hot, clear, dry, holiday weekend that they are forecasting. :)
P.S. For the past few days I've had extreme difficulty posting comments, only to your blog. I'm not sure why - but it takes me several tries in different ways for the comments to go through. ??
Soup looks delicious, the whole lunch does. There is nothing like time with a good friend, made even more special by such a lunch. I hope you have a good weekend and get in some quiet moments,
What a great quote. Looks like you had a delightful afternoon spent with a friend and wonderful food. What could be better?
Have a wonderful week!

Love the cucumber and cream cheese and all the other good stuff. Have never had chilled carrot soup. Being diabetic I am always looking for veggie recipes. So glad you had a nice break.

THAT'S WHAT I DID WEDNESDAY, I HAD A RELAXING LUNCH WITH MY DAUGHTER JACKIE. SOMETIMES LIFE IS TO FAST...IT IS NICE TO SLOW DOWN ONCE IN A WHILE. TAKE CARE, RIZZI
I love that last phrase: Spend the afternoon, you can't take it with you! So true! A great way to catch up & recharge :))
Have a lovely Sunday!
