Well, I served the kebops, some with chicken and some with the tender loin, and it was loved by all.

The only problem was that one of my ovens went poof. I had the oven guy in and he took it apart and cleaned it out and replaced many parts, the pilot light tube, the themo couple and because he was working on those parts, the door switch fell apart and he even fixed the blowers for the convection and showed me how to light the pilot light. We HAD HOT PLATES. Or at least warm.

I think I need to change from the pumpkin soup. Kim is starting to rebel, along with the staff. They are getting too much pumpkin soup with olive bread crouton and white truffle oil. I always make sure I have at least one serving left over for Kim and me and most of the time I have two or even three.

I put less salt in it this time. That was a mistake. I think it needs more chicken stock and more milk, like the first time I made it. This was more pumpkin.

I plan on making a cold cherry soup this summer. So, get that pumpkin soup while the weather is cold. 😉

I showed some of our photograph collection to two nice guests. They enjoyed it. Kim wont let me put all of the photograph collection downstairs because she feels, and I concede she has a good point, that it’s about painting and art quilts. So, OK. Maybe we should consider photography workshops.
