The Pyrex bowl is adorable; love the colour, reminds me of spring and happy moments. Okay, I do admit that living in a Mediterranean climate has its benefits, especially when it's -22°F in Toronto right now. But, believe it or not, I hope to be freezing my butt off in about two weeks or so, just in time to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday with my beloved daughter and family!!<br /><br />Stay warm and keep sipping on all those delicious soups you whip up!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-52116371983356744692014-01-05T15:31:57.668-08:002014-01-05T15:31:57.668-08:00Schools and even some businesses are already close...Schools and even some businesses are already closed for tomorrow here, too.
