Delectable Vegetable Soup
You already know soup is good food, but here are some more soup-related quotes to stir your soul.
Anyone who tells a lie has not a pure heart, and cannot make a good soup.–Ludwig van Beethoven
Let me be the first to tell you, drinking alcohol is the worst thing to do in cold weather. Hot soup is the best because the process of digesting food helps to warm you up.–Morgan Freeman
Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.–Marge Kennedy

Saturday Santa Sightings
Santa appears to be hanging by his fingertips beside this browning magnolia tree.
Either reindeers are growing or Santa is shrinking.
With mistletoe on his cap, Santa goes in for a peck at Mrs. Claus.
One Santa drives an ice cream truck with peppermint candy wheels, while a Florida Santa shows his midriff without shame.
But soon Santa must mount his sleigh and head to the homes of good little boys and girls. Twelve days and counting!
