Rainy Day Soup

It has been raining all day today.  It's the type of day where you just want to curl up under a blanket and watch movies all day.  And I could have done just that, but I decided to be responsible and productive.  I went to the bank and the post office.  And, on a side note, whenever I run errands like that I always think "When did I become a grown up?"  I also made two more stops to do some Christmas shopping.  But in the middle of all that driving around, looking for a parking spot, and waiting in line, I had lunch with Jillian at Panera.  While we were ordering at the counter I looked down and saw a poor gingerbread man with only one eye, and then he had a crooked smile that made him look pitiful.  so of course I took a picture of him. 

 But if you do have to be out and about on a rainy day, and you do get to meet someone for lunch, then you should go somewhere where you can get a big, steamy bowl of soup.

Parnera's Sonoma Chicken Stew with Dry Jack Cheese Biscuits, very good!
