Helllllo Friends!  Happy 2nd Thursday of the New Year!
Is anyone else still having trouble processing the fun fact that we are in 2017"
I know we are now TWELVE days into the year and my brain should have accepted this, but I am still writing 2016 on everything.
But, IF I happen to get the year correct, then I definitely get the month wrong.
Basically, I?m writing January 2016 or December 2017 on all the things.
#BlondeHairProblems for sure.

Since I am on the topic of the New Year, is it just me or did anyone else think we?d be flying cars by now, and not driving them" I mean, in Back to the Future, Marty and Doc time traveled INTO 2015 and they had flying cars.  We are 2 years past that.
So my question is, where are these flying cars"  Because, I want one.  Obviously. 
Anyways, now that I?m rambled your little ears (errr eyes") off, I?ll get to the food now.
A friend of mine (Mary Ann over at The Beach House Kitchen) mentioned on her blog that January is National Soup Month.  To me, this is most excellent news, because I have a bunch of soups to share with you guys.
And we are going to get the soup party started with one of my favorites?.
