The thing that gets me all excited about cooler temps (outside) is the idea of making soup again. I love soup...all kinds. I have several cookbooks devoted to the subject. So, I decided to grab 5 cookbooks off the shelf, find a weekly soup recipe from each, and make one each week...and hope I grabbed a cookbook that included such recipes! [I got the idea for this idea from Ann Martin-Rolke over at Sacatomato http://www.sacatomato.com/ in one of her posts..only she was more sophisticated about it]
Here is what I grabbed (and I closed my eyes first)
1) In One Pot ( one of my weight watchers cookbooks..which is good since I joined up today...weird since I have about 300 cookbooks to choose from)
2) Cooking Kosher, The Natural Way
3) Inter Courses ( I bought this for Dave back in 1998, when we behaved like rabbits)
4) Nose to Tail Eating
5) A Thousand Years Over a Hot Stove, A History of American Women Told Through Food, Recipes, and Remembrances (my husband bought this for me after we stopped behaving like rabbits)
Okay...now try to guess which recipe came from which book!
a) Cock-a-leekie Soup
b) Sprout Soup
c) Pine Nut Soup
d) Moroccan Lamb and Lentil Soup
e) Basil-Eggplant Soup
Whoever gets em all right, will win a brand new cookbook!! That's right folks, a brand new cookbook. If you already have it, then you don't get it. If you don't want it, you don't get it. But, you'll want it....or not. No cheating if you have any of the cookbooks..just guess. [I will also throw in a gift certificate to a fine local eatery AND you can keep guessing...I changed the rules, cause I can]
