THE SATURDAY SOUP

TWO

A SPOONFUL OF MY LIFE

JANUARY & FEBRUARY

AND A SOUP RECIPE

Welcome to The Saturday Soup! It's a floating feature I hope to post once or twice a month, but if I can't find the time there's no pressure. Ha ha! I will be telling a story from my life, showing you five things that made me smile, and also giving you a soup recipe each time.

PREVIOUS THE SATURDAY SOUP

It was Superb Owl Sunday at my house on February 12th. My son went to his friend's annual anti-Super Bowl party where they ate Super Bowl party foods and played board games. I drank tea and watched Patti Smith read Uncle Wiggly stories live. She even did different voices. I was jealous because she was drinking her coffee from a vintage 1920's Uncle Wiggly cup.

FUN FACT

The author of the Uncle Wiggly stories was born in my hometown.

We've had so many of these breathtaking red and violet sunsets lately. We had the first one here last summer and I think we've had about one a month since. I see from IG they've been happening all over. I can almost imagine I live on a different planet.

Our seven elementary schools had a combined dance program showcase. The city school system had over 100 photos on their Facebook page, and looking at all the joy in the children's faces brought immeasurable happiness to me. Next year I hope to be braver about venturing out in public among large groups, so I can experience this joyful energy in person.

My city's iconic sandwich made Taste Atlas' top fifty sandwiches in the world, coming in at number four. A spedie sub was my pregnancy craving. FUN STORY: we named our cat Zuzu before we knew it was the original name for the spiedie marinade. Ha ha.
