Even our Italian AFS student liked the soup, and she is behaving exactly like me at 17 &#8211; rarely to never eats anything her &#8220;mom&#8221; cooks; wants the control of making all her own edibles. I also made a batch of caponata with the last of the eggplants I got two CSA boxes ago, tomatoes and celery. The fridge is starting to look a lot more like the fridge of some people going to to Door County real soon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3856\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/instagr.am\/p\/Nw8jz\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3856\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3856\" title=\"chickensoup921\" src=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/chickensoup921-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/chickensoup921-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/chickensoup921-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/chickensoup921.jpg 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3856\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chicken soup<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday I made a luau themed dinner for a group of 22 who were having some kind of luau-tiki-mystery dinner.
