since i’m sure all of you have been on the edge of yr seats since my last post…
the soup was fine. it was good. in fact, it was freaking fantastic.
i ended up buying 2 boxes of potatoes au gratin (just add water and a few other things) and baking it myself, which�defeated the purpose of�quick preparation (but i think that�goal was�pummeled into the ground�a lot earlier)�but ended up being a perfectly good substitute.
the real reason, however, that the soup turned out so fabulously is because of my friends in small group. just being around such loving, awesome people and seeing the smiles and faces that have been gone for the holidays made all of my frustration melt away… and left me feeling incredibly silly for getting so bent out of shape about some stupid potatoes with cheese.
PLUS i got a watercolor postcard painted by seth w. in the mail�right as i was cooking the potatoes in the oven… talk about perfect timing.
so, as trite as it sounds, i’m thankful for my “quick and easy” cheddar potato soup, cos it reminded me of what makes life good, really and truly worth living and loving and embracing.
and i get to have another “reminder” for lunch today… yay leftovers!
