So it seems I'm like the soup queen or something...

Seriously good nummers to night, IF I do say so meself.

It was SOUPer easy too...

I cooked some italian sausage (you could leave that out if you want) and sliced it.

to that I added minced onions, then garlic, and various herbs and spices (mostly thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, pepper flakes, you know..italiany stuff. Probably would have added bay leaves too, but I'm out and can't bring myself to buy it in the store when I typically pick it from the tree by the creek I played in as a kid. Think I can get my dad to ship me some? Uh yeah..like I sent his bathing suit left behind last visit and Christmas present... they're still in my trunk SHHHH!!!)

Then I added a big can of plum tomatoes, a couple of those boxes of veggie broth from TJ's, some frozen veggies (carrots, peas green beans), sliced zucchini, frozen leftover elbow macaroni, mushrooms, and a whole bag of baby spinach. Oh, and a can of kidney beans. Topped it with Parmesan cheese and ate it with a slice of foccacia bread. I was good and didn't eat too much. I knew there was a reason why I refuse to purchase canned soup anymore. By the time this was done, it would probably fee ten people. We still have 1/2 pot left, and it cost a fraction of what campbell's would have been for the same quantity.

Yep. Another winner.

Going to work on the patterns for the replacement fur on my robe-soon-to-be-bitchin'-coat and watch a movie with the girls.

Still antsy, but I'm ok. Tomorrow I may get to drive to Santa Barbara to deliver some documents, then rush back down to deliver a bid to a school district. Kinda looking forward to the drive if I can go. I'd rather do that then deliver the bid. :P
