I have a homemade cream of mushroom soup cooking on the stove right now.  The scent is heavenly.

This is my first attempt at a mushroom soup, but I have no doubt it will be quite yummy. The Joy of Cooking has not failed me yet.

I seem to be on a pureed soup kick right now, after two batches of black bean soup in the past nine days.

The first three days of school this week have been particularly rugged.  I usually don’t try to teach voice lessons during the first week of term, but I am this semester simply because of my travel schedule.  And I seem to have had a significant number of meetings this week.  And fires.

But today, Ron Bohmer presented a master class for our voice students, and Ravi Coltrane presented a similar class for our jazz students.  And the manager of the local NPR affiliate spoke in a seminar at noon.  We had a supper day of enrichment activities in our little Department of Music!

I’m anxious for the weekend.  Friday is a visit to the Monet ‘water lilies’ exhibit at the Art Museum, followed by dinner here at home with friends.  Saturday is Sunday in the Park with George at the Rep.  Sunday is Webster University Opera Studio.
