A Sort of Snowy Saturday, Some Italian Wedding Soup and a Night Out

So 2 weekends ago we were supposed to get a HUGE storm, and only ended up getting 3". What a let down! But I had bought snow day soup supplies so my roommate and I hit the kitchen anyway.

We made Italian Wedding Soup and used THIS RECIPE from The Barefoot Contessa. It came out great, although I will make some changes to the meatballs next time.

It called for chicken sausage and that is what I am going to leave out next time. Or perhaps try a different brand, since I didn't like the sausage, it had cheap tasting italian seasoning in it that was N.G. No Good! Ashley was pretty sure fennel was the main offending spice, but either way....no sausage next time!

Just showing off my new ladel! I space out buying kitchen supplies so I can afford the nice oxo ones! Oh wait, there is one more important ingredient! Wine! The most important one! : )
