I made vegetable beef soup complete with bone today

Since my problem with the soft water and a bad stomach during which milk was the only food that didn't hurt I gave up my vegetarian diet because every time I thought of eating any of those foods I felt ill. I decided the problem was it was a strict diet and I really did not know how to cook and prepare enough variety of foods, so I was going to get awfully sick of it. In fact, I thought I could never look another pinto bean in the face and tofu no longer did anything for me. I fully expected to be on a vegetarian diet the rest of my life, but now I remember the same thing happened the other two times, only sooner. I will just have to be content with what I did for the animals in the over 2 years I have been on this diet, seems like 3.
Anyway I bought a soup bone at the Farmer's Market where they sell organic beef and cooked it all afternoon. I threw in some barley which I have never done before and I liked it, plus the usual, organic carrots (absolutely delicious), potatoes, and onions. That's it. I believe this soup was good for what ails me.
Oh, oh, Doc just called for me to bring him the dish of soup I promised him so I must go before he gets too hungry and calls again! If I think of any more to add will do so when I get back.
P.S. Thank you, Connie, for this nice header. If you want to see a really startling header go to Connies Place. I laughed when I saw it. I swear, she thinks very creatively when she does these things.
