De-burping Cucumbers and more....

A few of us friends eagerly await and look forward to our regular lunches. Given everyone’s crazy schedules, we make these little reunions as much of a priority as we can. In addition to the incredible company, abundance of laughter, and bonding time with each other and an opportunity to catch up on each other’s lives, the hostesses treat us to gourmet lunches. And this time’s hostess, Emily, did not disappoint - she made a delicious pasta salad, two soups (which you split in half into the same bowl--the picture describes it the best, Roasted Red Pepper and Chilled Cucumber), and a rich banana pudding. And we acquired a new skill in de-burping cucumbers! This lunch was especially worth it as Alicia was able to join us! I am blessed to have these ladies in my life!
