Dinner and an Update!

Tonight's dinner was carrot soup, inspired by a vegetable soup that we had while we were in Paris. I started by sauteeing mire poix, then adding a bit of white wine and two cans of vegetable broth. To that I added half a bag of petite carrots (rough cut), about 6 or 7 small red skin potatoes (also rough cut) and some cut leeks. I let the vegetables simmer in the broth/mire poix until tender. I also added a bit of garlic, salt and pepper. Once the vegetables were tender I added a box of Pacific organic Roasted Carrot Soup (from WF) and a touch of cream. Used the immersion blender to puree the soup, served with herbed goat cheese toasts, umm!

In other fronts, we got a call today from the delivery folks to schedule delivery of.... the kitchen cabinets! They're going to arrive next Thursday! (Let the demolition begin!) Now we must begin the search in earnest for i) lighting, ii) an acceptable alternative to our poorly located radiator, iii) backsplash materials and iv) a faucet! Woo-hoo!
