My Luna was the happiest on this beautiful car ride. We were admiring the beauty of nature, the clouds so low that if we went up the mountains, they might pass through our faces. It was serene. A true reminder how beautiful the nature is. A beautiful picturesque beauty that I would never want to forget. I remember Luna smiling, Ajay and I in complete awe of the beauty of mountains and fall colors around us, and Baby V kicking. What a beautiful morning it was.On our way back home we were trying to figure out what we wanted to have for lunch. I gave Aju a few options, but he instantly told me, he wants to have the good old comforting bowl of Tomato and Basil Soup, with some Garlic Bread! And there I was ready to start planning in the car. But soon I realized we were out of basil, debating on whether to stop at the grocery store nearby or not, we finally decided to stop by and get everything we needed and few things that probably we didn’t need. As soon as we entered home, I went and started to prep for the soup. I knew it that all I needed today was a Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup with lots of and lots of garlic. I started with preheating the oven and ohh the way it made my kitchen warm was blissful. The tomatoes and garlic soon went into the oven roasting its way, and the onions releasing a sweet smell as they caramelize. Oh sweet lord, I just couldn’t wait to dig in the warm bowl of soup.
