“Cat Hair Soup”

For yesterday's ecclesial meal, Corinne provided three dishes: reuben casserole, buffalo chicken enchiladas, and cat hair soup.

Mmmm... cat hair soup! Sounds good, doesn't it?

That's not really what it's called. That's what I told everybody it was called, along with warning them about the spider that fell into it while cooking, in a mock attempt to have leftovers to bring home with us after the meal.

The soup is acutally Cajun Crab Chowder, and it's totally out of this world. Really incredible, I've never had anything like it!

Corinne has hit a few home runs lately. The most notable, recent success is her recipe (or implementation) for stuffed Jalapenos. Cream cheese, spicy sausage, and a strip of bacon.

Shoot, I'm drooling.

Anyway, they all knew me too well. Nobody believed me about the cat hair or the spider. Frank Locke announced that he got the last of it, but he was deceived by the width and color of the crock pot: I found a bowl and a half still in there! (The bowl and the soup were the same color, it was an easy mistake.) So, Frank got another half of a bowl, and I gave the last bowl (which would have been my second) to Bill Ellison when I found out he didn't get any.

Being married to a woman who is good at and loves cooking... there's just nothing else like it.
