So the weekend was spent volunteering for the Scotland pavilion at the local Fusion Festival<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. The Hubby’s bagpipe band (Cedar Hills Caledonia Bagpipe Band<\/span><\/strong><\/a>) not only participated in the parade and did a brief stint on stage, but helped manage the booth, answering questions while wearing their full kilt kits (wool kilt and socks and dress shoes included), standing in the heat. I helped as well, a bit in the booth, took pictures, got the video camera going, etc. Needless to say, neither of us were up to much for even going out for suppers and I was in no condition to stand some more and cook. So from being a bit worn down, plus the heat, plus the press of humans sharing their germs, it looks like Hubby came down with a cold.<\/p>\n

So although its at least 30\u00b0C out there and the house has to be hotter, I made him soup. As there was no way on this green earth, that I was going to boot up an oven or cook a big meal, I cheated a bit by using a pre-cooked chicken from the grocery store and as such, it maybe took me 15 minutes to make the soup! Insert thumbs up emotie here! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

      Notes<\/h3>

      ** Use a few tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with water or for a low carb option Dixie Counters Thick It Up<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
