Found One!

Tried this recipe yesterday from Rachel Ray, Creamy Wild Rice and Mushroom soup:

Not bad! We are enjoying it quite a bit! It is pretty simple and it really only took 30 minutes (not including the simmering time...but I don't count that because I don't have to be there...I just have to wait).

I have ALMOST everything I need for Chicken Curry in a Hurry (Thanks John/Kelli!). Just have to find mustard seed!

Up for dinner tonight is a Wild Mushroom Marscapone tart recipe that is from the Favourite Recipes from the Books for Cooks bookstore! I am excited to see what it tastes like! I think I am developing a taste for Wild Mushrooms. Yes, with capital letters there too.

This afternoon, Michael and I had an orange juice and a coffee (respectively) at a cafe. It was super fun! He's such a little grown up now. And my friend Kirsten dropped by this morning with Ella and we had a nice morning/chat/lunch (takeout Chinese). WHAT a wonderful Friday!

Nope, not a typo there. It is Friday because tomorrow is a holiday for Ascension. And in France, if you're gonna have a holiday on a Thursday, Friday is a bust too. OBVIOUSLY. It's called: "Faire le pont." Have the holiday on Thursday, but make a bridge to the weekend by including Friday in it as well. In short, take a 4 day weekend. I like it. I mean, what's not to like?

And my sister gets here tomorrow!! WHOOP!

That ended up being a long post about almost nothing.
