When a child comes home from college, especially for the first time, they are usually looking for mom to make their favorite food. A steady diet of institutional cuisine at best lacks the variety and high quality of home cooked meals, and at worst will result in regular bouts of diarrhea. It has become evident that Beth's experience with the cafeteria food at Concordia St. Paul runs the gamut of those results. One of her all time favorites is Kay's potato soup, and that is what is being produced right now. An important ingredient in potato soup is potatoes, of which none were to be found in this house, so I was off to Albertson's before 7:00am to procure a 10 pound sack of spuds. One thing I noticed along the way is that it is cold and windy out there. The weekend's chill is arriving on time, pushed along by a gusty north wind.
The weekend weather forecast is unchanged, nice and sunny, and nice and cold. I am not sure if those two words, nice and cold, should go together. That is especially the case when you consider that I will be involved in two outdoor events tomorrow, the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk and the Inland Northwest Marching Band Championships. I have been asked to be the emcee of both events. It is going to be a busy Saturday, and a very cold one too. The best we can hope for is a high temperature in the mid to upper 40s today, tomorrow and Sunday. Again, the overnight lows will be dropping into the teens...Chilly Willy!!! At least the wind should die down after today.
