The soup is vegan, but it's good anyway, I like to say. ;-) It's roasted pumpkin, vegetable stock or water, apple cider, maple syrup, and cashews blended in for creaminess and thickness, and that's it. I brought a cup down to Jeff at Louie's Lunch, but asked if he was allergic to cashews. Sadly, he's allergic to peanuts, and since Planters roasts their cashews in peanut oil at least some of the time, he didn't want to chance it. I gave his soup to one of the kids standing there waiting for his lunch, and Jeff at least appreciated the thought.
Last night was "Lincoln" with the newish friend from Saturday. Impressive movie with some stunningly good acting and writing. I recommend it, though I don't know if it necessarily needs the $11 big-screen treatment. Tonight I'll probably hit the happy hour at the Westy briefly to relax with some friends who don't usually have time to relax at bars (bar staff, for example) and then have a quiet night at home with my TiVo.
