I’m A WIP: Food Vlog 1/2024

I was hoping to post a writing vlog this week, but oh well, here’s a food vlog instead. I released it a few days early to the paid members of my Patreon community, but now it’s public for the world to see.

SOUPER BLOG HOP featuring Pea Soup Disaster #kidlit #picturebook

 
Prompt: Share your favorite soup recipe.
OR

Tell us about a soup you love. Even if your favorite soup is from a can, that works! Take a picture of it (the can or the soup in a bowl) for your post. Easy peasy.

Aside from being thrilled to see such a cute book being released, I was so excited when I saw this hop because it’s all about soup. Now, I’m not crazy about soup or anything, but sometimes a good soup is the best thing in the world. Plus, I just so happen to have a pea soup recipe to share. It’s not a pretty soup and it always leaves my kitchen in a mess, but it’s hearty and delicious. I give you Abraham’s 3 Pea-Green Soup, created for and inspired by a character from my Eternal Curse Series.

BLURB:
Gregory Green loves his mom’s pea soup, but when he eats it at school, all of his friends make fun of how it looks. He doesn’t think it looks like bugs, and it tastes good! Then at recess, his friends run from him, screaming, “He’s a monster!” Gregory doesn’t know why his friends are being mean until he sees his skin is green. The teasing gets worse until an unlikely friend comes to the rescue—his teddy bear, Sammy. Sammy usually only comes to life for Gregory and his family, but Sammy has an important lesson to teach Gregory and his classmates.

Things are a little whacky right now!

So today I’m supposed to post my monthly Blogdom post, but I can’t seem to find it. I’m trying not to cry about it. Hopefully I haven’t erased it and will be able to post it later as a make-up. If not, that means I’ve lost a whole month of helpful tips, cool reviews, and other tidbits.

Later, probably this evening, I’ll post my 31 Days challenge, but because I was out late celebrating my birthday, I didn’t have time to format it. I can’t wait for this to be over. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been fun and all, but I think I went about it all wrong. I planned out the whole month with outlines and notes, but didn’t write anything ahead of time. For me that was part of the challenge, but it may be too much.

Oh, and yesterday I tried to share a post from a blog that was hosting me. I totally forgot that I no longer have the option to Reblog…bummer 🙁 . Anyway, I’m still going to share the post using my own “reblog” method. Since I’m reblogging content I wrote myself, I will skip some steps in my method. However, you can check out all the steps in my method and the meaning behind it at this link.
