All about Mourning Doves
Such a recognizable sound. This pair was on the neighbors’ roof list this morning. Unfortunately the snow flurries blowing don’t show up in this photo. They mate for life and are monogamous.
A visit from a mourning dove is thought to be “ ….positive sign, symbolizing peace, hope, and a message of love and comfort”
Last week Steve brought home a quart of Potato Leek soup. Oh was it so good on a seriously cold winter night! He bought it at Brothmonger– Pittsburgh Based Soup Cafe
It’s almost right across the street diagonally (in the next block) from West Penn Hospital in the Bloomfield Neighborhood.
Ingredients are listed for all the soups as well as symbols if the soups are Vegetarian, Gluten Free, or Vegan options. In the Grab n Go Fridge there was a White Chicken Chili available, a Curry, Clam Chowder, Stuffed Pepper and the Broccoli Cheddar.
There’s a video below so you can meet the Brothmonger who started her soup business on social media.

P.S. your hand embroidered napkin is so pretty

A mug fell on my souvenir spoon rest. I was trying to hang the mug on the hook above. It slipped out of my hand and cracked the otter. Not into smithereens, though.
I bought the glass otter spoon rest when my sister and I were on our 2016 Alaska trip. It was an artist cooperative shop in Homer.
Now I should just throw it out.
But I’m looking at it on and off for a day, wondering.
Could I glue it?
Such a clean break.
It’s just a spoon rest. It’s broken.
Why do I think about it? Gather the pieces and put them in the trash!
Wikipedia answers this question and says…
What is the point of a spoon rest?
A spoon rest (also known as a dublé) is a piece of kitchenware that serves as a place to lay spoons and other cooking utensils, to prevent cooking fluids from getting onto countertops, as well as keeping the spoon from touching any contaminants that might be on the counter.
A saucer works just as well- holds the cooking spoon after I stir the sauce. Never touches the counter. Phew!
