I have a dear friend who is retired as a city department head. He loves to cook and had a part time catering business. He still takes food to some of his former co workers. I love going to his home for a fantastic sit down country meal. Having a farm with beef, pork, chickens, eggs, fresh vegetable, and herbs, what a treat to dine at his house. One thing he cooks and shares is Tomato Dill Soup. Jerry comes from a long line of fantastic cooks. Hope you enjoy this with a Grilled Cheese or Tuna Salad Sandwich.
