In the Perkins family we believe that life is made up of the little everyday things. Things like enjoying a sensational cup of tea, Manny seeing his face in the mirror for the first time, or finding a bush turkey under the deck. Even though we delight in the little things it is often the big things that end up in letters and emails (Chris has a cold, I almost stepped on a snake - all the boring stuff).
These Joyful Jottings are going to change all of that. So we invite you, dear friends and loved ones, to share in some of our precious everyday moments as a family. Enjoy!

Our Little Cutie


 While Chris was working at a friend's house Manny and I spent the day out on the front lawn getting a tan ;-) We've had gooooooorgeous weather the last two weeks, even getting up as high as the mid twenties. The photo second in from the left shows Manny sucking his bottom lip, a bad habit my sister Grace used to have. I used to tease her about the buck teeth that resulted...and now my chickens are coming home to roost! The last photo shows Manny accomplishing something he's been trying to do for weeks - he finally got the foot in! As Daddy says, "he's a laugh and a half!" Notice the cute bib? I made it! Actually I made five. More on that in a later post.


Disclaimer About The Vegetarian Cauliflower Soup

Ok now, I've already been laughed at for putting Chicken stock in vegan soup so I'm going to put y'all straight. If you use the powdered stock or cubes you can get brands that have no animal content - SO THERE! LOL! I know, I should've said something in the recipe. I only know this because as a vegetarian teenager I was able to use chicken stock as a flavouring. If you don't have vegetarian chicken stock I would suggest caramelising mushrooms and garlic, adding water and reducing as this makes a hearty stock too.
