Had extra time between my two meetings so I treated myself to lunch out. A local restaurant, Garlini's, makes an excellent sausage and lentil soup, which I hadn't had in years. Delicious with fresh Italian bread and a garlic butter. I need to go there more often. #SupportSmallBusiness #EatLocal

Trying this recipe out. I found some adorable little rutabagas at the local farmstand, along with some beets and carrots! Roasting them all in the oven with olive oil, salt and pepper. I'll try the apple cider vinegar and parsley on the rutabaga. I usually have beets plain, and the carrots with balsamic vinegar -- but I'm sure they would all be good with apple cider vinegar drizzled on them! (I love picked beets.)
