A Kick-Off the New School Year dinner tonight, very fancy, ha, homemade chicken noodle soup with freshly baked challah. Between the two of them, that's probably the kids' fav dinner. Nathan on his own would pick pepperoni pizza, while A on her own would choose bread, with chicken or steak. But together they lurve chicken noodle soup (heavy emphasis on the noodle!) and good, fresh bread. Hey, I can't complain, I love both as well. With a big salad! Again with those damn tomatoes, you say? YES! In fact, for lunch today I pureed the leftover tomato-cucumber salad from last night and slurped it as a cold soup. Absolutely delicious. I'm probably making another tomato zucchini gratin as well - soon enough it will be February and I'll be craving the damn thing!

Speaking of craving...I have a hankering for my nephew Cooper, luckily he's on his way over for a visit. Coopster Turducken Coopst!
