Spring Storms

We woke up to snow this morning. Spring storms don't really bother me since the snow doesn't usually stick on roads and the driveway so really it was okay. Andrew had a project he had to take to school (We didn't get a picture of it finished. Oops. We put sand in the bottom and attached two pictures of whale sharks. It turned out pretty cute.) so I drove the kids instead of having them ride the bus.

I had on a navy blue Disneyland sweatshirt, no bra (it's a very big and thick sweatshirt and I am part of the IBTC so I don't feel too bad about it) and navy and white plaid flannel PJ pants and shoes that are slippers, or slippers that are sort of like shoes. Can you see where this is going?

We get half way to school and the gas light comes on in the car. Paul ran it out of gas over the weekend. Doh! At this point I am now half way to the store/gas so after I drop off the kids I drive down to get some gas. I stand out in my pj's getting said gas and then think, while I am here it would be silly to not get what I need for dinner. Sooo I went into the store and subjected all those poor shoppers to the horrors of seeing a mom wearing inappropriate clothing, no bra, slippers and no make-up.

I got what I needed and tonight we had a delicious dinner of Potato Leek Soup, sour dough bread from San Francisco and fresh pineapple (a family favorite). It was the perfect meal for a cool, snowy day. This is a picture I took of it for my recipe book I made a few years ago.

Now we don't get our panties in a twist around here about things like fat, cholesterol and calories (I know it's obvious) so if you do worry about those things this recipe is not for you! We only eat it a few times each year but we all love it. It goes together quickly and it couldn't be easier to make.
