I have a bus day today. The Smitten Kitten's are picking up The Ring today and we are meeting them at Barnes and Noble at 1:00 to see it. At 3, we are meeting my parents and grandmother at Red Lobster to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. So no cooking for me tonight.

WFD at your house?

Last night I made the Chicken Pot Pie Soup and it was great! I tried to look up to see who shared the recipe, but couldn't find it, so ... sorry! But, I give a great big thanks to the person that did!

Twas me You are welcome!
