I think I've made it very clear I'm not the biggest fan of soup. I prefer heartier meals, and I don't care how hearty a soup claims to be, it just isn't on par with a meal I can, well, 'sink my teeth' into, as they say. I'm not weird about textures, but I do like to feel like I've eaten my meal, not drank it. (Also REALLY not a fan of juicing, as you may have guessed. ;) BUT, I do like some soups, and this is one that I don't even know why I tried, but I immediately loved it and saved the recipe in my files.
My friend Kimberly mentioned to me that her daughter, my mini-me, needed a colonial outfit for school. I sooooo wanted to make it! I was trying to be nice and not steal the opportunity to make the costume from Kimberly, but oh, how I wanted to make this!!! She graciously agreed to let me do it, and I immediately started shopping for fabric. Even though this is for a kid, and a school thing, I still wanted to go historically accurate. Because that's most of the fun for me. ;) The outfit is made mostly from 100% linen, and the underthings are in a cotton muslin.
