A knitting friend, book club colleague and neighbor invited me for soup and this was dessert. A hearty winter lunch. I walked around the block in the snow. Most people had shoveled. It took twice as long to get there, though
Last week Steve brought home a quart of Potato Leek soup. Oh was it so good on a seriously cold winter night! He bought it at Brothmonger– Pittsburgh Based Soup Cafe
It’s almost right across the street diagonally (in the next block) from West Penn Hospital in the Bloomfield Neighborhood.
Ingredients are listed for all the soups as well as symbols if the soups are Vegetarian, Gluten Free, or Vegan options. In the Grab n Go Fridge there was a White Chicken Chili available, a Curry, Clam Chowder, Stuffed Pepper and the Broccoli Cheddar.
There’s a video below so you can meet the Brothmonger who started her soup business on social media.

I dropped off a quart of Broccoli Cheddar Soup with potatoes, along with a loaf of crusty Mancini bread to my friends’ home. This morning I received this wonderful photo
P.S. your hand embroidered napkin is so pretty

While we were eating it looked like hail was bouncing on the street. People got up to go look out the door.
Tonight the weather man on tv said “it wasn’t hail, it was graupel”. Looked like hail to me. No damage to the car though.
How Stuff Works says “
I know I said wordless Wednesday but ooops……
The deadliest land mammal, my son told me at Christmas. According to the BBC News post
“Ungainly as it is, the hippopotamus is the world’s deadliest large land mammal, killing an estimated 500 people per year in Africa. Hippos are aggressive creatures, and they have very sharp teeth. And you would not want to get stuck under one; at up to 2,750kg they can crush a human to death.” BBCNews
When the kids were small , we had cute picture books about a Hippo couple-George and Martha. Guess not
This is a blue potato that got left behind for the soup. And sprouted.
Looked like a baby hippo to me.
An article “Are Sprouted Potatoes Safe to Eat?” Don’t eat the sprouts!
Garlic, onions in olive oil, cabbage, carrots, celery, spinach, zucchini, tomatoes, and white beans. Even better day two. Add some Parmesan.
