My Seussical Life for 2004 October 15

I'm kind-of frusterated because I haven't received any e-mail since Monday, which makes me think something is wrong with my account.

We are having second breakfast right now at my house. I can't believe my kids, they hardly ever eat dinner, and in the morning they are famished. Samuel has already eaten a bowl of cereal and two bananas and it isn't even 9:30 yet.

Last night, in celebration of a great fall day, I made cream of tomato-fennel soup with parmesan croutons and gremolata (garlic, parsley, fennel fronds and lemon zest chopped up finely and sprinkled on the soup), which gave the soup a really nice lift. I had bought an assortment of olives at the Merc olive bar when I went to buy the fennel, so I also made a greek-ish salad with lots of types of greens, feta, tomatoes, and thinly sliced green peppers. It was pretty yummy. The boys asked for grilled cheese sandwiches so nicely that I made those, too.
