Dear Sarah Jessica Parker :
I have enjoyed perusing your new stylish clothing line on the website, Bitten, and have been very impressed with the style and affordability of the clothing shown. I have even gone so far as to visit the nearest Steve & Barry’s, the store that exclusively sells your clothing line, in order to try on and purchase many pieces of your line.
I am writing to inform you that I was unable to find any of the previously mentioned cute articles of clothing (that I had dibs on) I wanted to purchase (HOUNDS TOOTH COAT!). My lovely sister could not even find the cute white coat.
We DID, however, find some cute black dresses to try on. And just so you know, REAL women have curves.
I really want to like your clothing line and be a repeat customer. Is there any way you could ship the Hounds tooth coat and brown tee directly to my house? And maybe the white coat to my sister, because I like her and all.
Thank you for your timely consideration in this matter,
A
Actually, Bubbalu hates pancakes and waffles. Well, THIS week he hates pancakes and waffles. It changes frequently. Maybe I should try french toast?

In an effort to increase freezer space, I am trying to use up some frozen butternut squash packages that I had on hand for baby food.
I looked for a quick recipe using the Birds Eye website (the brand of frozen squash I have).
Here's what I found:
Butternut Squash Soup
Prep time: 1-2 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Ingredients-
1-12oz box Birds Eye® Frozen Select Cooked Winter Squash
1 cup chicken broth
1 Tbsp chopped chives
1 cup Parmesan croutons
Instructions-
Combine the squash with the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for several minutes, until the squash thaws, about 10 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Serve sprinkled with chives and croutons.
Did you see that!? Because it is only 12 MINUTES total prep/cook time, we are attempting Butternut Squash Soup for dinner. It's on the stove as I am typing, and will be transported to the crock pot, being that it's only 3:45.
*Mkay, so it is now after dinner, and the soup was nice and thick and yummy. I doubled the recipe, added parsley for looks and nixed the croutons for poor mans garlic bread ( toast with butter and garlic salt). We got two thumbs up from the husband too! I DO suggest not having it as the main course, unless you eat like a bird. We are not delicate waifs, and will be needing some staying power. Not sure what that will be yet...
Anyways, enjoy your squashaliscious soup, and let me know if you have fun variations...
