My dear friend, Kris, had our friend Maura and me join her for lunch on her patio yesterday. She made this Barefoot Contessa recipe for the most delicious soup! It looked just like this and it tasted soooo good...with homemade croutons and crispy pancetta.
Kris and I have been friends for a long time, Maura even longer....both have daughters at St. Mary's in Notre Dame...so I connected them a few years ago. We all needed to TALK yesterday and it was great to be in the company of these two women on a beautiful autumn day in Madison...the leaves seemed to have changed overnight and Maple Bluff was at her prettiest! The forecast is amazing...sunny and 70's for 10 days...we have been blessed with a perfect fall...much deserved and makes Jan/Feb/Mar in WI tolerable. Today, after I get some paperwork done, I have plans to spend all day in my yard/garden...transplanting, trimming, mowing, etc....can't wait! Then off to a swim meet in beautiful Monroe, WI! The drive south will be gorgeous today!
It's also Homecoming week at EHS...full of fun...powder puff football for senior girls (and Em - she decided to do it! :O ), band concerts, dress up days and lots of fun! We'll go to the football game on Friday night - Emma will play in the pep band....so far, Peter has not asked anyone to the dance and will probably go to the game with the guys. Emma is getting excited for the dance! We still need to buy shoes.
Have some girlfriends over for lunch! It was so much more fun than going out to lunch - I am going to follow Kris' lead and have her and Maura over for lunch soon!
Enjoy your day, Sissy! xoxoxo, Heidi
