Your carrot soup looks divine! My son has a home in Taos, NM. He arranged for a tour of her home at Abiquiu through the Georgia O’Keefe Visitor Center. I have been a big fan of Georgia for decades. Seeing that black and white photo of her chopping vegetables for a salad takes me there. Her house is just as it was when she lived there. The views from her grounds and large windows were an inspiration for her. The tour guide, a retired art teacher, told us she bought her house because it had a water source for her garden and orchard. If you get a chance, visit her Abiquiu house and also the Georgia O’Keefe Museum in Santa Fe, NM.
Good to hear that you and Tillie are both on the mend. Soup always does the trick and your carrot one looks delicious. Loved the Georgia O’Keefe museum in Santa Fe. It was my first introduction to her and I’ve been fascinated ever since.
Hi Jolene! I hope you and Ms. Tilly the Cat are both feeling much better! My 20 year old kitty, Bella also wishes you both a full recovery...
I visited the gorgeous Santa Fe and the Okeefe Museum while there—it was a wonderful experience. I'm happy to learn of her cooking skills and love for soup! As always, thanks for a wonderful post!
Aww, hello Joan and Bella! I really need to visit there and I am really impressed by her cooking and vegetable gardening skills, too! Thanks, Joan 🥣🥣🐾🧡
I am a "foodie," Jolene, and make hearty soups all the time, so I really enjoyed this post!. Tonight I made a Chicken and Black Bean Taco soup--so good and full of vegetables. I am glad you feel better and I hope Tillie will feel better soon too! Best Wishes, Pat
PS: I saw a wonderful special exhibit of Georgia O'Keefe's life and paintings in the Denver Art Museum a few years ago--very enjoyable--what a life she lived!
Thank you so much, Patricia, Chicken and Black Bean Taco Soup sounds so good! And I totally agree, what a life she lived! Thanks for well wishes for me and Tillie! 🥣🥣🐾🧡
I love that Georgia O’Keefe taught her cook…how to cook 😄 I will look for a copy of The Oainter’s Kitchen. I hope you and Tilly are better, Jolene. Butternut squash soup gets all the glory but carrot soup is so delicious. 🥕
Isn’t that the best? 89 and giving instructions on all of it! No matter how much I learn about O’Keeffe, there’s always something new that impresses. Butternut squash gets all the glory, lol, so true, and carrots are so sweet and beautiful and delicious! This soup is a winner, Domenica! Thanks for your well wishes for me and Tillie! 🥣🥣🐾🧡
I found the Dinner With G spiral for $12 at a flea market. We sold it on eBay for $40-60 🤭. I had no idea she liked to cook! Reading recipes at bed time. I loved that! There was a photo I saved of her eating cheese.
Talk about color! That carrot soup is the prettiest shade of orange I think I've ever seen! It absolutely jumps off the page. Georgia would definitely approve!
I adore this post for so many reasons, Jolene! One, we love New Mexico and have visited the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe several times. We're planning to return in November, and now I'm determined to make it to her home in Abiquiu--and get that cookbook too!
Two, I remember that Robert Louis Stevenson poem from a childhood book--it may have had that illustrator!
Three, my heart goes out to you and your precious Tillie; so very glad she and you are feeling better. How very funny that you could get her meds at Walgreen's!
Four, your cocktail party on Oct. 24 is now on my calendar and I can't wait! It's likely I'll be tuning in from somewhere in the California Gold Country, but hopefully there will be a signal and a boozy local specialty at hand.
I love this so much Jolene! Imagining Georgia, Frida and Diego having meals together is so dreamy. I’m so curious what other recipes the Georgia book contains. And soups are my favorite food (so glad it’s finally weather appropriate!) Ps: I also got sick on my last day in Illinois and have been recovering ever since (sad we missed each other tho!) 💫
Oh, no, so sorry you got sick, too, Sabrina! This thing has been hanging on, 😷 finally getting out of the woods, hope you are feeling better, I was so bummed we couldn’t meet! Next time! And I cannot IMAGINE how electric the conversation was with Frida, Diego and Georgia! Thanks for well wishes for me and Tillie! 🥣🥣🐾🧡
We went to the O'Keeffe museum in April, and the kitchen section really made me Pause! Brought memories of my great-grandmother's kitchen, and my own Mom's love of healthy food made by hand.
I hoe you manage to find a copy of the more recent book too --
Oh, I love that you got to see it and it reminded you of your great-grandmother, Alison, I really want to go! I’m searching for a copy, so far very pricey but I’ll press on! Thanks for you well wishes for me and Tillie! 🐾🧡
That carrot soup photo is so beautiful it looks like a painting.
Hi, Bob, thank you, always nice to see you pop up in my feed! Hope you’re well.

I’ve been to her house, too! The view from her bedroom windows is just spectacular
I remember you told me!
Thank you, Sharon, I really want to visit! What an amazing tour you must’ve had!
A Georgia cookbook?!?!
Yes! 2 of them, Kelsey! 🥣🎨
I totally commented prematurely out of excitement, then as I read on, I realized there were two! Thank you for these beautiful discoveries!
I’m trying to get my hands on the second out-of-print book, will keep you posted!
Oh gosh, comforting soup for both you and Tillie is so adorable! I hope you're both feeling better. ❤️
Thank you so much, Amelia! 🥣 🥣 🐾🧡

Thanks, Julia, I’m dying to visit there! Where are you on your trip now? Thanks for well wishes for me and Tillie! 🥣🥣🐾🧡

I hope I can find one within a good price range, she was a really good cook!

I love soup. The BFF made broccoli and Stilton a couple of weeks ago, and OMG it was delicious 😋.
That sounds heavenly! 🥣 🧀 🥦

Thank you, Leigh, can’t wait to talk soon! 🐾🧡
Tillie the Cat, be well!

Didn’t know you and your sweet kitty were ill? Feel better and lovely post. 😘
Thank you, Anne, we are on the mend! 🐾🧡
