I love tomato soup of a cold day. Your recipe is quick and easy. It’s perfect to make when I have an overflow of tomatoes. I was born in Miami Florida. I moved 18 years ago and have never looked back. The humidity is paralyzing! I hope you are happy in the mountains. Give us an update as this article is old now. Thanks for sharing! Shalom

In reply to George R Hooper Jr. Now, that’s just not right. But, it’s so very funny!

As regards prayers for your chickens — did’ja hear about the traveling salesman traveling through Georgia who stopped for lunch at a roadside eatery.
He had the absolutely BEST fried chicken he’d ever had. It was so good he sought out the owner and asked how he prepared his chicken.
The owner told him, “Oh, nothin’ special… I just tell ’em they gonna die…”

In reply to Betty Bondurant. Hi Betty! I will certainly share our chicken experiences. We’ve decided it would be wise to wait until fall. Right now, we’ve got our hands full with trying to settle in and get our house in shape before we take on the added responsibility of chickens. Thank you so much for all your support!

Good to hear from you. I am going to keep this short because I am having computer problems. I am happy to hear about your new adventure. Hope you will continue your videos. Thanks for the wonderful tomato soup recipe. I have been thinking about getting some chickens for eggs. Many people here {south of Tallahassee} treat their chickens like children I had no idea that they could be so friendly and personable. Hope you will be kind enough to share your experiences with us if you “adopt” some.

Happy life.

PattiAnn,

I’ve found the key to successful tomato gardening is using containers. I could grow wonderful tomatoes in Florida and I’m going to keep whacking away until I figure them out in North Carolina.

I’m a country girl at heart. Always have been. We’re happy to be here. We’re both still transitioning to a slower pace of life, but we’ll get there.

Happy tomato shopping!

Good for you. Getting back into the country is good for the soul. I don’t live in the south, but in the Oregon mountains. We moved here 20 years ago and love it. Getting out of the city world will extend your life.
As for tomatoes? !? Good luck. I gave up and go to Farmers market, much easier on the ego.
Love your blog & southern cooking.

I’m in shock, but don’t blame y’all one little bit. I couldn’t stand the traffic and stuff in southern Florida either. Those Carolina mountains have always been a dream of mine too and a log cabin too, you lucky lucky girl. This Florida humidity and boiling heat bothers me too. Well a big ol’ hugggggg and congratulations.

Welcome to North Carolina! While living in eastern N.C., I used to live in the foothills of N.C. around the Lenoir area. I miss seeing the mountains but so glad you are going to be seeing them everyday. I hope you grow to love it!
