It's a Tie

Our boy cherub is in a new phase of life.

The teenage years.

Puberty.

Achievements.

This week he wore, for the first time, a tie.

He and the Mr. went shopping and brought home 4 shirts and 4 ties.

No pants.

My cherub selected the shirt and tie that he liked best with his khaki uniform pants.

He got dressed.

He felt "weird."

He looked handsome.

He wore his dad's shoes this day.

There's something sobering to watch your boy walk out the door in his dad's shoes . . .

When we watched our cherub walk across the stage, we were so proud of him!  He is
  • far more funnier than we could ever try to be.
  • far smarter than we could ever imagine.
  • far more grounded than we could have hoped.
  • far more humble than we have taught.
  • far more than we deserve.
Son, you know:  "You're my favorite little boy!" 

Here are some pictures of my cherub getting ready for the induction ceremony.

Choking. 
Really?
The Mr. had no time to teach his cherub
how to master the tie . . .
when all else fails, let dad do it!

The Mr. and his boy after the event.
Don't look at the Mr.'s shirt -- it'll make
your eyes go crazy!

Oh my word, he's the cutest thing ever!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
