The 'posts that make me cringe' post made me cringe a bit. I should have put links to all the posts I've written that are kazactly like the cringey posts I talked about. See, I wouldn't like to write about somebody elses's garden without looking over my own fence first (WTF? There's a metaphor in there somewhere!).
1. The post that's all about you
2. The post about nothing
3. The post about 'monetising' your blog
4. The post about being a writer
5. The fishing post
6. The overly gushy post
7. The phoning-it-in post
8. The blog-dropping post
9. The random, not-even-remotely-useful post about blogging
Yep, every single one of them is me all me. I love that everyone took this post with the good humour that I hoped I'd serve it up with. Made my day.
So, this week I'm grateful for...
263. Good humour - always, always, always. Life is far too serious to take seriously.
264. Holiday care - the kids only went two days in the whole holidays (a record for this former 4 day a week, long hours working mumma!), but those two days were very needed indeed.
265. Soup - I've been busy making delicious soups to freeze. My Pea and Ham soup is our absolute favourite, but this Potato and Leek soup from Taste is getting a good work out too.
Come link up your grateful post with me over at Village Voices where this week I'm talking about being grateful for learning.
Don't be scared of Village Voices. It's just me, but in my swanky new city apartment...
Same bat, different channel.
Can you share your favourite soup recipe??

I can't get enough soup this winter. My favourite is minestrone at the moment but am loving cauliflower too!
Happy weekend Bron. xx
We love that leek and potato soup
Also loving tomato/basil/zucchini combo
And there's a lentil one in the new Real Living that looks fab
Always a laugh here...I like that

I get into soup more! May have to try hat pea and ham! Love all your links back to your cringe worthy posts!
*need. Need to get into soup more. And I need to proof read more!!
Love a good display of self-awareness!
Here is a great soup recipe on my blog that I whip out almost every other week! Fresh and simple! Autumn Asian chicken soup!
Very funny that you have done all of the things you said you hated.
I will link up with you on Saturday :)

Very cool that you used yourself as the perfect cringe-worthy exhibit!!!! We've all done it, I'm gonna be proud of all of my bad posts. And there's a few, like that time I yabbered on about the new tiling in my shower. Life changing? Notsomuch. No favourite soup recipe. I have four kids who refuse to touch it!
I recognised myself (and you) in the posts that made you cringe - I thought that's why you wrote it (because it is universal stuff we all would recognise on our own blogs - it's funny 'coz it's true kinda thing- cheeky and funny. I have a confession, I'm not really a soup person. I have never made my own, because I don't really eat it often. I like the romantic idea of warming soup on a cold day, with fresh bread rolls, but it never materialises for me. I don't mind the odd chicken & sweetcorn, but I have never actually tried pea and ham soup!
I loved the original post, and was no need for your own links.
As for soups, I can't be bothered retyping them out but I can't recommend the Casa Moro cookbook enough. Full of delicious and budget meals (which is handy as I'm currently not earning a cent!)
Have a great weekend.

Potatoe and leek is my favourite but Iv never made it myself as Im to much of a tight ass to buy leeks when they cost $3 each! My Dad always makes a pot for me when he makes his :)
My favourite to cook is Easy Beef Soup it has beef mince, tin tomatoes and risoni pasta in it kind of like spagetti but in a soup its delicious and filling.

Best ever. I reckon. *s*
Chicken and corn chowder :) Love it! The taste.com recipe is very good... apparently... I don't seem to be able to follow a recipe and always go off on my own tangent while cooking!!!
Soup is on the menu here each week! Love it! x
