Food, Food, Glorious Food

As many of you know, my life revolves around food. I'm not necessarily good at making it, but I do love to try and I love to eat.

This year for Valentine's Day I told Jared he didn't have to get me anything, but with my allotment of grandma and grandpa's generous donation, I bought myself one of the world's smallest wonders and my greatest delights. KUMQUATS!
These delectable little fruits are pungently sour when you first bite in, and then delightfully sweet when you finish. (Its the skin that's the sweetest).

THEN we made Mulligatawny soup! Its delish, and was made famous by the "Soup Nazi" episode on Seinfeld. Its seriously one of those soups that I make on accident when I'm trying to use all of my going bad vegetables... only this one is ah-mazing :)

If you can't tell from the picture, or if you're too lazy to click on the link ;-) there's EVERYTHING in this soup, from spinach, to granny smith apples, to sweet potatoes and lentils, to onions, celery, ginger and chicken! I swear, its the greatest. Happy day after V-day to ME!!!!

ps. Speaking of food, Jared just announced this morning that he-- once what I would describe a "meat and potatoes" man--- could live off of fruit smoothies and pitas with veggies, falafal and hummus. That's it. As a wife seeking greater health for her family, I feel like I could die tomorrow a happy and accomplished woman :)
