Dinner of Champions

And the verdict is in....
My Sunday dinner featuring potato soup, while not perfect (we decided it needed chives or chili powder), was absolutely delicious!  I paired it with an Italian panini and was thoroughly pleased with my first attempt at this hearty soup.


Broccoli and I were also able to watch this guy put up his first win as a St. Louis Ram while enjoying our yummy meal!


Congrats Sam Bradford and the rest of the St. Louis Rams!
You pulled off an exciting win against one of the best in Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins.  And for me, there is not much that beats a Sunday afternoon at home watching pro football and when your home team puts up a big win, it's that much sweeter.  Overall, the weekend was pretty great.

I headed back into work with a fairly clear mind and felt I had a decent grip on what my week had to offer even with month-end falling on Thursday.  Yesterday was a good day.  It was busy but I was able to get all of Monday tasks accomplished, help out with some AP data entry and leave 5 minutes early because I had to run home and grab my tennis shoes so that I could go to the gym.

Today, I woke up not feeling 100%.  Not totally sick, but my head was pounding and my stomach was in knots for some unknown reason.  I made it through my day even when I convinced myself I was going to take a half day because there still was quite a bit I needed to take care of today and leaving early would just push me that much farther behind for month-end.
I've decided to take it easy tonight and watch the marathon before the BIG FINALE for one of my favorite shows on Food Network --



That's right -- tonight, four Chopped Champions compete for $50,000!!  I can't wait for Ted Allen to say, "Chef Madison, you are the Chopped Champion." 


It's almost as nice as hearing Chef Lindsay.  (Yeah, I'm dreaming a bit.)
