Morning all.  It’s a cool calm day.  A good one to sleep in and take it easy and have a yummy bagel and a latte and read the paper.  Soup today is Italian Wedding Soup.  We haven’t had this one for a while!  It’s a chicken broth with sausage, spinach, carrots, red peppers and little star noodles.  So yummy!  We also have a sandwich special today.  It’s a hot turkey with Dill Havarti cheese and pear slices.

I can’t believe that April is flying by so quickly!  It’s already the 20th and May is right around the corner.  I’m so happy not to be moving the entire shop in a week like last year!  I hope I NEVER have to do that ever again.  Totally worth it though!  The new shop is going to be undergoing some changes in the next few weeks.  We’ll be doing some rearranging and organizing.  Nothing MAJOR though- don’t panic! 

Anne is bringing us soup from the Top Shelf today so you know it’ll be delish.

Soup today is the ever popular Cream of Carrot.  It’s a perfect day for a grilled cheese and soup!  This gray day is going to make the flowers and grass and trees soo happy. 

Fun coffee fact:  It’s the time of year when Central American coffees are between crops.  Soo, we are using up some Organic Fair Trade Nicaraguan while we wait for our favorite Guats and Bolivians to have a new season.  Come in and try it.  It’s a nice earthy blend.

When I was at Simpson College, my voice teacher used to make us do an exercise on days like today.  You would say, a la Julia Child, “It’s a gray, gray, daayyyy”  While it’s great for the vocal chords to be warmed up in this way, it’s even better for the soul.  Try it.  It’s funny. 

The flowers need the rain today and you, you need some Tomato soup and our famous Grilled Tomato and Cheese sandwich.  What could be better?

We seemed to have dodged a weather bullet here!  It is another BEAUTIFUL day in Door County.  Soup today is the famous and favorite Asiago Cheese Bisque. 

If you didn’t know yet, I am running the Door County Half Marathon in order to raise money for the Wellness Center of Door County.  The clinic provides basic health care for both insured and uninsured patients.  They are also quite possibly the kindest most compassionate people on the planet.  Email me at rachel@cookieladyonline if you would like to donate!  Thank you!
