December 21, dinner. Joel's Chicken Noodle soup, at Barbara's with Don, Barbara, Jan, Dale, and Mom. Very good soup; could have used a bit more broth so the ratio of broth-to-chicken was higher. I think that this was almost a stew, but it was delicious in any case. On the little plate are some frozen spanakopita things that Barbara popped in the oven, and in the glass is a 2001 Turley ZInfandel.
