“Sometimes I’ll think about something you said, and I’ll laugh, and then the other people choosing tomatoes at the grocery store will wonder what’s so funny about that tomato.” :)

So after some impromptu (read: random, out of my crazy brain) soup-making, tonight I finally decided to pull out my “Love Soup” cookbook that, of course, came to DC with me. And guess what?! I found a card with that adorably accurate note on it from my mom stuffed inside. :) It only took me 5 weeks to find, but there it was! It’s so true too, and I secretly love when I laugh out loud to myself, and people around me think I’m crazy- mostly because it’s just so darned hilarious, and I’m thinking of you.

So then I made this yummy Roasted eggplant, pepper, and chickpea soup! I was starving, but decided to have an appetizer so that I could allow the proper time for the roasting- so key. And it had tomatoes, onion, garlic, and oregano in it too- classic! But the awesome part is the fun bzzzz with my immersion blender- totally professional :)

**French phrase for fun:

Les tomates sont drôles.

Tomatoes are funny.
