souper cool

It’s going to get cold again Saturday, then winter will soon start to slip away here in the South. Before the warm weather returns, we’re thinking about investing in a soup tureen. In our 27 years of married life, Mike and I have never had one — heck, growing up I didn’t even know what a tureen was (let’s just say Joan Brooks did not do homemade soups). Anyway, we’re now thinking we gotta have one, and then it can be an heirloom for our kids. Do you have a tureen? Or a terrine?  Here are some we like.

taco nights

We make tacos about once a week — skirt steak, chicken, fish, shrimp, veggie — they’re so easy for hectic weeknights. Mike found this tomato relish recipe a few years back and it’s become one of our favorite toppings. Hope you like it as much as we do!
