Bowling and Butternut Squash Soup

I had so much fun today with Ian and my Aunt Mary and my cousins, Bill, Dorinda, Karen and Laureen. We bowled.

Well. . . Okay. I'm stretching the truth a bit.

We tried to bowl. Ian beat the pants off more than one of us with his high score of 93. (Yes, that includes me.)

Funny thing...no one was asking us to join their league. :D

After bowling, we went back to Bill and Dorinda's home for Easter lunch. Rin made this outstanding
butternut squash soup that was TO DIE FOR. I helped puree the soup with an immersion blender. Every time I go there, I learn something new. This immersion blender is a very cool apparatus. You put the end of it in the pan, and push the button, and it purees, while the stuff is hot! I was very impressed, and I want one. Even if I only use it to make more butternut squash soup, it will be worth it. I think I could probably use it to make applesauce, too, though, so the investment will be worthwhile.

Does this mean that you've had a change of feelings about cooking? :D

LOL! Let's just say I'm willing to try some things. I'm just not ready to 'run with scissors' where cooking is concerned yet. Of course, things just taste so much better when someone else is doing the cooking. I can't make an omelet taste as good as Bill's. And not for lack of trying! :D
