Bliss in a bowl

Yesterday hubby made Acorn Squash soup.

It was delicious.

Here's his recipe:

• Chop acorn squash in half and roast until soft.
• Sautee chopped celery, carrots, and onion in butter in a stockpot.  Season with salt and pepper. 
• Add chopped roasted acorn squash into the stockpot and sautee until everything is soft.
• Then, add water and "Better than Bouillon" until everything is falling apart.
• Puree the buggery out of the soup.
• Season with cardamom, nutmeg, salt and pepper.

Basket-whaat?

Yesterday was the big Hope vs. Calvin college basketball game.  Since I'm not the biggest sports fan I figured I should know something about the game before watching.  So, I made these two lists:

Aren't you impressed with my technical knowledge?  

Hmm, I had much to learn

The game was super exciting. 

There was plenty of team spirit

Look, cheerleaders! (Cross off question 9)

Free throw- 1 point (Question 2) and referee (Question 6)

  

Sadly, we lost (2 periods- question 3)

But, at least I learned a thing or two about basketball.

Flavored seaweed

Here's an interesting food combination that only the Japanese could dream up:  tomato sauce and seaweed.  Before you groan in disgust, take a look at this tomato-seaweed snack that I found at the store.

Doesn't the cute packaging draw you in?

It was yummy- great texture and slightly sweet and salty.  We finished the whole bag in a couple of minutes.
