Guess what the sun had for dinner this week? Give up? Okay, I’ll let you in on the story… Our local star ate a comet.

NASA’s orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory had been studying comet ATLAS S1 approach the sun, using its occulter to block out the light from our star’s disk and astronomers got to witness its last moments.

Ingredients
3 cans of Campbell’s beef broth (do not substitute)
3 cans of water
2-3 large onions coarsely chopped
8 ounces sherry cooking wine (I like Holland House)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon sage
1 tablespoon (or more) extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter (unsalted preferred)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 package croutons
Mozzarella cheese shredded
Parmesan/Romano cheese shredded or Parmesan in jar

If you read my post, “Site rendering problem finally solved?”, then you know I’ve been struggling with problems regarding this blog. It seems that page speed/rendering was my number one pain-in-the… the culprit that led many to see the dreaded CIRCLE OF DEATH! After many tweaks of cache settings, deletion of plug-ins, etc., I was still pulling my hair out and in technical limbo after more than a month. I even moved my files to another US server (same hosting company). Believe me, I tried every trick in my techie book, but to no avail. That is, until last night.
