And yes, grapefruit helps. :)Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-17684269194493268972011-01-09T19:58:39.189-06:002011-01-09T19:58:39.189-06:00I think that being interesting is overrated. Hones...I think that being interesting is overrated. Honestly, sometimes the dark side of "interesting" means there's a lot of associated stress and drama! As long as you're happy (and have enough grapefruit on hand), I'd say you're in the perfect place to ring in 2011. :)Maddiehttp://www.alittleginger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-66594581305725001972011-01-09T19:24:09.005-06:002011-01-09T19:24:09.005-06:00Dana - I know!

I've also just been eating them plain -- peeled and segmented -- as a snack. I'm thinking about making grapefruit juice, too. :) I love tortellini soup! I've made a version with butternut squash and spinach, and it's oh-so-good.

What are you going to do with all of it?<br /><br />The soup sounds great, certainly not boring. The addition of balsamic vinegar must add just a hint of zingy excitement against all of the rounded flavor of the vegetables. I made a tortellini soup that used a little red wine vinegar in the same fashion. It really does help to make a non-boring soup!Danahttp://thefunkykitchen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-48266370364278486682011-01-08T11:20:46.594-06:002011-01-08T11:20:46.594-06:00kickpleat - I was shocked when I saw that bag of c...kickpleat - I was shocked when I saw that bag of citrus on the kitchen counter! Haha but it's all good, I think I'll make a grapefruit salad today. :) Thanks for your sweet comment!<br /><br />Kim - Ha! I added bacon to the loaded potato soup we had for dinner. Adding bacon to anything makes life just better in general. <br /><br />J - Yup, yarn is more boring than food. You win! Oh just kidding. Try the soup! Terry will appreciate all the mushrooms. :)<br /><br />Les - So true. The flavor was better by the fourth day I ate it. I am obsessed with soups lately!Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342077127310264989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-73874974949618144222011-01-07T16:00:45.577-06:002011-01-07T16:00:45.577-06:00Sounds yummy!

I get excited over the fiber content of yarn. Thanks for the soup recipe, I've been looking for a soup to make this week and this'll be it. Mmm balsamic vinegar and white wine? This should be interesting!jlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501678944309335430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378864966200305798.post-66556737241862383872011-01-07T00:35:58.287-06:002011-01-07T00:35:58.287-06:00UM, BACON in your soup?
