Last night I made the best broccoli soup I've ever had! Mama Lettrich would be so proud (sniff, sniff). :o) I roasted a few carrots, simmered the broccoli in home-made veggie stock and basically cooked it into oblivion. The flavor was awesome! Then I made a white sauce, filled it full of sharp cheddar, mixed the veggies in and topped it all off with shards of parmesan. It was killer. The flavor, texture, and color were all on. You should have seen the aftermath of my kitchen.
Yes, the presentation leaves something to be desired but it was on its way to the fridge. :o) Also sort of a bummer that Justin hates broccoli. But he could appreciate the effort put into said soup.
Other topics of note I went to the dentist today. I had to get a "soft spot" filled. :o( I haven't had a cavity in 15 years! So I guess I was due for one but to my surprise and excitement...they have WHITE fillings! I kept waiting for the feeling-like-you're-walking-in-snow that the old silver ones gave you but then it never came and this filling only took 30 minutes! Wow, the advances of dentistry!
Finally, I was joking with Britt and Tara the other night about how boring I am. They were sharing stories about their 5 month old and 9month/4year old (respectively) and telling about swim lessons, ballet, hitting milestones, new foods, etc. Very exciting stuff! And all I had to offer was "we picked out a new paint color for the kitchen." :o) That being said...the color is below. LOL!
Looks really muddy in this picture with the yellow wall coming through and the florescent lighting. I'm pretty sure it's Comfort Gray by Sherwin Williams. I'll have to double check. Well, that's all for now! Justin is rushing me off the blog to plan our trip...AND he went to Birmingham, AL today! He texted me when he got back to Columbia asking if there was a bridge to Paris. Haha, sorry but no. I hope everyone has a great rest of the week!
