IN MY SOUP!! Ok, not really, but to continue with my “song title theme” of the posts this week, I couldn’t think of a song that went with the amazing soup I made tonight. My friend Laurie reminded me of this Shirley Temple song… ever heard it?
Tonight’s post is not going to be all that exciting, I’m going to tell you right now. At Adam’s request, I made my Zuppa Toscana recipe for dinner, and managed to get a good picture of it:
Even better than last time!
I went to Jazzercise tonight and burned 668 calories! Halfway through the class though, I started smelling something a little “funky”. No, it wasn’t just me sweating. Apparently, one of the cats decided that my shirt was its litter box, and I didn’t notice the smell until I started radiating heat. SO GROSS!
I’m going to start a super-secret birthday baking project for Adam… I’m a little nervous because its something I’ve never made before, but I have the help (at least on the phone and IM) of my sister the pastry chef! I hope there are no panicked phone calls necessary!
In other news, Meghann REACHED HER FUNDRAISING GOAL with the latest blogger bake sale! My challah went for $40 and $32, and I can’t wait to bake it and send it out this weekend! Congrats to the winning bidders!
Sorry for the boring post… repeat recipes make for boring blog posts! Tomorrow’s will be much more exciting since its…
ADAM’S BIRTHDAY!
SHIRLEY TEMPLE!! Nostalgia alert
Wishing Adam an early happy birthday!!

cat pee is gross. I assume you did not have a piece of cat shit stuck to your shirt……
That is hilarious and disgusting at the same time.

I immediately thought of that song when I saw your title!
On one episode of Chopped their ingredient was animal crackers, so the guy made a soup so he could put them in it!

Oooh, looking forward to your baking project. Will it involve coconut? Because it should. Or something else should, so you can enter the BSI

the soup looks great again!
that’s funny about your shirt – our cat has never peed on clothing, but she did pee INTO a heating vent in our house one time. THAT smelled awesome when the heat kicked on.

Thank goodness (should’ve clarified) I wasn’t walking around with a piece of cat poop on my shirt… just the lovely odor of cat PEE…still shuddering to think about it.
Brandi? That would be THE MOST DISGUSTING THING!!!! EW!!

Happy Birthday Adam!
Ha ha – totally laughing about the cat incident. If it makes you feel any better, I sometimes sweat garlic at hot yoga. So embarrassing.
Your Zuppa Toscana looks totally delicious…and Mara, your posts are NEVER boring.

SO jealous of your 688 calorie burn!!! I think I had that much just in lunch alone, since I can’t seem to stop eating every avocado in site.
That soup looks very tasty, btw! I’ll have to give it a try sometime.

Hey, there’s nothing boring about Shirley Temple. Thanks for posting the video. I have that song in my head now! I always liked that movie.
I had a similar cat t-shirt experience in high school. That is not an easy smell to get rid of. Of course, if teenage Sweetie Pie had hung her clothes up rather than leaving them piled in the dark corner of the closet floor, there might have been less of a problem…

I loved Shirley Temple as a little girl
Even before the video loaded on your site I recognized the title from her song!

I tried to bid on your challah, but was outbid (and didn’t get a second chance to bid). Oh well!
Happy Birday to Adam today! Are you baking a cake??

Wow, your pic came out great. When I take food pics, they sure don’t look like that. Probably why I haven’t tried creating a food blog
Thanks, for the Shirley Temple clip…my 22 month old daughter LOVED it.

Oh, man. Came over from Miz’s site on the 8th, and had to watch this. My grandma died 2 years ago, but she used to sing that song to me ALL THE TIME when I was little. Thanks for the good memories – made me cry a little.
On-topic (;D) all the recipes look fantastic. I’ll be a regular reader in the future!
