I opened a sandwich in my car last night (more on this later, so exciting) and got crumbs all over the passenger seat. Ugh,what a mess, I thought.

I'm sitting in my car in the gym parking lot waiting for my friend. I just ate some of those crumbs. OK, have a nice day.

I'm jealous of people posting and talking about the refreshing, chilly weather in their parts of the country. I love fall. I never get to experience it, but I love it. I also love soup. I love to eat soup in the fall. Dream big. It's still a hot mess in Florida, so I crank the AC down and pretend. I was craving tortilla soup yesterday, given this flood of autumn nostalgia, and at 5pm, which I normally wouldn't do, went to the store, bought the ingredients, and made it.

I'm in no position to give any advice on cooking whatsoever, but I must note that a key ingredient to the best tortilla soup is chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, especially if you love a spic.. Also, fresh lime juice as a final touch is a must. Lastly, if you really want to take it to a whole 'nother level, skip sprinkling the usual tortilla chips on top, and do as my mom always did: put a flour tortilla on the bottom, top it with cheese, then laddle your soup on top.

I'm at work and I'm hungry. This is the only time I look forward to leftovers.
