Mrs. Johnson's Tomato Soup

Professor Johnson is one of the things I'll miss about W&L Law. He has hosted a weekly student Bible study in his home for who-knows-how-long. And for just as long, his wife has provided amazing food for the students who come to that Wednesday night Bible study. One of my all-time favorites is her tomato soup. She graciously shared her recipe with a few of us, and since I have had scheduling conflicts for the last year and have been unable to enjoy her wonderful food, I thought her tomato soup with grilled cheese sounded like the perfect exam nourishment. In reality, it is much more nutritious than I expected considering how creamy and delicious it is!

Kissing Law School Goodbye

I attended my last class of law school today. In celebration, I had people over last night for a pot luck/game night. We played Catch Phrase like only lawyers can, with lots of yelling, fighting over rules, and insistence that both teams were equally inconvenienced. It's funny - as 1Ls, we were very aware that we were starting to make lame law jokes in every conversation; now, the legal termanology has become such a part of our vernacular that we don't even notice any more. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that.

The party was fun, and I enjoyed having people over. And I enjoyed baking and cooking. Roasts are fun and easy. My kitchen was completely destoyed over and over, but is pretty much back to normal now.
