Home-Grown Soup and Salad

Since I live in Chicago I do everything I can to gather farm produce each time I'm home.  This last time I was home I nabbed a butternut squash out of Jordan and Christie's garden, threw it in my carry on and headed for the airport.  When the bag passed the through the x-ray the two TSA officers looked at each other and said, "thats some gourd".  I piped in with the variety as butternut, they laughed, then sent me on my way.  Traveling with food is always a good idea!

Butternut squash soup with an apple, walnut salad and muti-grain bread.
Taylor's home brew #13, the Petite Saision was the perfect beverage to round out the meal.
