During our three-day "heat wave" I set them up on the patio table and we had
soup and salad combos each day. The most memorable was the curried tomato
soup and shrimp noodle salad. That's the one the daughter-units are asking
for again this winter. I didn't think of enjoying a cocktail while watching
the grass grow but that sounds like a winning combo, too! Any mixes you'd
suggest?
