Based on my good friend Erin's vegetable soup she brought me in week 2, I was found a vegetable soup that I absolutely love and that I look forward to making from here on out. The ingredients are onion, garlic, carrots, celery, kidney beans, basil, oregano, diced tomotoes, tomato sauce, and salt/pepper to season. The recipe I followed also included ground beef which I might incorporate once I can open my mouth. This tasty soup was almost like an italian flavored chili with the basil and oregano. I even topped it off with some parmesan cheese! Yum! I am pretty sure I will be dining on this Christmas Eve night.
Since my last post, I also got the opportunity to head down to my office in the loop to celebrate the holidays with my co-workers. With the exception of a couple people, this was a surprise to all. It felt great to get up in the morning and know that I had a purpose. I got on the Metra and followed my regular commute. It is sickening to say this, but I am actually looking forward to returning to work! Anyways, I just want to thank my awesome colleagues for a great afternoon. I laughed so hard a couple times that I totally was hurting my jaw, but I didn't mind. It was also great to meet some new colleagues who have transferred over from Diamond and 1 from our New York office. Hopefully I didn't scare them off with my muffled talking! I look forward to getting to know them when I return in 2 weeks!
With Christmas being a few days away, I just want to say that I am thankful for all the love and support of my family and friends that have been following this blog and keeping up with my progress! Speaking of progress, check out some updated pictures:
