Just Around The Corner


I'm looking forward to fall
and right around the corner is
Halloween.

I'd like you to meet Henry Higgins and Eliza Boolittle!
I found them at Tuesday Morning.
They were pushed to the very back of a shelf.
I almost didn't see them.
Good thing they called to me!

You can clean your pantry out with this Black Bean Pumpkin Soup
from Pillsbury's Halloween Best Recipes.

My black bean soup recipe is similar without the pumpkin, but what a nice addition it would make.
