Soup Adventure....Day 2, etc.

Part of our reasoning behind the soup adventure was so that we would stop eating such big and heavy meals at 10pm at night and then go to bed.  That's our life.  Can't change the dinner time very easily, so we are trying to change the diet.

If you think eating soup every night is easy.....it's not.  Lots of prep goes into every pot of soup.  But, we are eating home made food and not canned stuff.  Yay us!

Tonight's soup was:

Here's the final product......a creamy soup filled with potatoes, chicken, and egg noodles, and veggies

VERDICT:  Paul liked it.  Me not so much.  I personally like the other potato chicken soup I make.  Not sure if we'll keep this one or not.  However, the crusty bread that we ate on the side with it was delicious!

Now to change subjects.  We managed to get out last Saturday night to see a special band that was playing Led Zeppelin songs and there was no cover if you brought in an unwrapped toy.  This was the 3rd year that we have attended this event.  The music is always awesome.

We didn't get there until 10:30pm and the opening band was still playing.  We were shocked to see it was a band of 14 year old boys.......and they were amazing!  These kids have a bright future.

And to end this evening.....I want to give a shout out to my little sister who surprised me today with my birthday present arriving in the mail.  This beautiful evergreen wreath -- which promptly got hung on the front door.  Thank you Penny......it's beautiful!

What makes it even more special is that it will be the ONLY Christmas decoration we are hanging this year.  Bah humbug to us!  No decorations at the Gainor house this year due to too many other things going on and I just don't feel like getting it all out and then having to put it all away again.

Besides that.......I spent a whole evening helping this girl get her brand new Christmas tree and decorations up in New Mexico.
