souper bowl sunday

christine is a dear friend of mine. there are many words or phrases that i could

use to describe her.

beautiful

artistic

calming

faithful

generous

but the one that has been describing her most as of late...is COLD.

(she has a severe aversion to january and february. understandably so.)

so she had the idea to get a bunch of gals together and have a soup party (which i immediately dubbed the souper bowl). we gathered with soups, wine, bread, cheese and babies. it was byob (seven little ones under the age of two keeping us on our toes).

i can't remember all of the soups but off the top of my head we had the following

black bean and sweet potato chili

sweet potato coconut curry (i ate SO much of this one)

venison stew

veggie soup with chorizo and a delightful pesto garnish

lamb stew with apricots

a white bean mexican soup

pumpkin curry

then there was bread. lots of bread.

and cheese

and wine

and...ahhh

we had these little ones all together for a few minutes before crying, food time, bed time commenced. eden likes to ~~attack other children~~ make friends so she had a great time.
