Dear John,
What a year. Today marks the anniversary of moving into our house. There are still boxes left to unpack (there are always boxes left to unpack), but it really is feeling like home. Stockings are hung from the stairs. Mary, Joseph, and the donkey are passing the shepherd and sheep on their journey to the stable. And I have brand new teas to choose from once the kettle reaches its boil.
We’ll travel for Christmas–visiting my family and yours. No reason not to make some soup and make sure the fridge is ready with a dinner to warm when we return.

Home meals
- These are not starchy potatoes. So while soup sounds great during the coming cold,I
- Kimchi soup! Use daikon to make stock. Use the kimchi in the fridge. Doesn’t use that many CSA veggies, but does feel yum.
Love you,
Sarah
