The Soup That Keeps on Giving

Today in our Comfort Foods class we made Potato and Leek soup. It came out really good, everyone seemed to enjoy it although I contend that it needed more salt. Our brownies were really comforting and for a day like today both were pitched to bring the ultimate comfort.

After the class I scurried to Reston for my 2 pm. class, Gloria Sussman's music class that I absolutely never miss, although I was late, and after I picked my way across the darkened room to the only chair available so late in the session, I sat down to enjoy the violin music that was streaming from the speakers. As I sat there, something caused me to sniff and sure enough I realized that I smelled like an onion!  My clothes must have absorbed the cooking aromas from the soup. After the class, I asked the guy sitting next to me if he smelled the leek-y soup and he said he thought what he smelled was Chinese food. I made my impression. Next week 's offering may be loaded with garlic.
