Oh my he's back! I can see there will be no rest for the weary until I explain about the soup.

A good friend of ours is a widower and a Fed.Judge. He is very generous and about twice a year, he'll buy a block of tickets to whatever happens to be coming to town (like Anne Murray one time) and he invites ten or 12 of us to attend as his guests. I in turn, invite these people to our house for soup and sandwiches either before or after the performance. Some of these people I am meeting for the first time as they are his friends and collegues.

I fixed Sweet Potatoe Soup w/chipotle chiles one time and this crusty old gentleman, a retired bomber pilot from W.W.II, looked up from his bowl and declared, "This soup has *****!" When the laughter died down we declared that indeed was a great name for it!

And love you I do dear friend......
