Maybe I should just open that café...

[hmpf]

I've been idly dreaming about for at least twenty years.

(Except that'd probably be the single most stressful "alternative" to normal employment that I could possibly choose. And, me starting a business? Err, no, I don't think so.)

Anyway. Quite chuffed about the cream of pea soup. Third time I've made this, with some significant tweaks this time, and I'd say it's a success now. This is nice, because I like brightly coloured soups, and I was still lacking a green one. I have a firetruck-red one - beetroot, potato, wasabi - and a bright yellow/orange one - carrot, curry, ginger - already. Now I can make a traffic-light soup buffet, should I feel like it.

Main ingredients for the pea soup: peas, parsley, thyme.

I recently browsed through a book on career changes, mainly targeted at at women returning to the "job market", which actually argued that opening your own café/ fashion boutique/jewellery shop is one of the most widespead - and in many cases unsuccessful - ideas. In your case, though, I *can* see the jewellery shop as a valid idea, more so than the café.
