Food!

This weekend was pretty boring. I spent it cooking and working. I have been using up things form my freezer so decided to restock. I have been wanting to make soup for a while and autumn soups are the best. I made a really tasty butternut squash soup. It was so thick it doesn't exactly pour.

 On Saturday evening I made a red thai curry and had it with a nice glass of Riesling. So vey civilized.

 I also made a few other things for the freezer and cooked a lamb shank but the lamb is not very good here.
And finally Blacksburg goes truly international. They now have an English food section in Kroger. It has only been here a week. And when I saw it, I did a happy dance in the aisle. :-) It got me a few strange looks but those people have obviously never tried malteasers or Aero or brown sauce

I got a nice little selection. It did not help my food bill - a can of soup was about $5! But it is worth it. I am going to horde some and have them for special occasions. There is something very comforting about tomato soup or a cheese and Branson sandwich! Makes me miss home. I am already putting in my food orders with mom for when I go back next! :-)

Tasty!
