Day 5: Iced Cucumber Soup

Well the fever that Sofia had yesterday hit the boys with a vengeance today. They both were running fevers in the 104 range all day - Motrin and Tylenol were virtually useless. The only thing that would drop them down to 101 for a little while would be a cool bath. Feeding them was not an option tonight. We are just keeping them comfortable.

But Sofia, Philip and I had to eat (Katya had a date!). The Iced Cucumber Soup with mint, watercress, and feta cheese from Bon Appetit was the very new item (or as Philip commented, it was "way far out there") and I made some baked some breaded shrimp as well since they like breaded fish.

I never really liked cold soup, but thought I would get in the spirit and try something new too. It was easy to make.....

The Verdicts:
Me: Well, I still don't like cold soup.
Philip: "gick"
Sofia: "blech, thumbs down. big thumbs down" But she LOVED the shrimp.

Hopefully, my boys will be back in the game tomorrow.
