How To Measure A Bra Size

How To Measure for a Perfect Fitting Bra

While braless or wearing a non-padded bra, measure around the bottom of the band, directly under your bust. The measuring tape should be level and very snug. Round to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add four inches. If it’s odd, add five. Your band size is the sum of this calculation. (So if you measured 32 inches, your band size is 36. If you measured 33 inches, your band size is 38.)

Wrap the measuring tape somewhat loosely around the fullest part of your chest (at nipple level). Round to the nearest whole number.

Subtract your band size from your bust measurement and refer to chart. Example: 37 inches (bust) – 34 inches (band) = 3 inches.    That’s a 34C.

Lentil Soup…Warm and Good

Posted on

Love a good soup…and let me say that this Lentil soup is really…GOOD!

There is nothing like a nice bowl of hot soup…but I tell you lentil soup is the top of my soup list.

Really, it is.

I had never made lentil soup.  It was my daughter-in-law who introduce me to lentils.

What’s in it?  Well, lentils of course along with onions, carrots, celery and hot dogs…yes, hot dogs…I can tell you my grand kids love this soup, and the main reason is due to the hot dogs.

Spoon it in a bowl and sprinkle with cheese and enjoy.  I bet you will get up and have a second bowl…I always do…

Recipe for Lentil Soup

Fill  a soup pot 3/4 up with water( I use a large pot) Then add to pot the following:

1/2 bag lentils

3-4 stalk celery (chopped)

3-4 carrots (chopped)

Large onion (chopped)

8 hot dogs (or cocktail franks), slice the dogs into small round pieces.

Bring all of the above to a boil for 15 minutes

Then add 1/2 can crushed tomatoes,

1 1/2 tspn dried basil

salt and pepper to taste.

cook all together for 50 minutes.

ENJOY!
