We had Kyle's friends over for dinner tonight. We were going to make tacos but he had all the ingredients to make my chicken tortilla soup so I decided to make that instead. Kyle got off work early too which was nice because he helped when he got home. I had baked cookies before he got off work and so all we had to make was the soup. I needed a cipolla (onion) for the soup so we went down to the Italian market downstairs. They had tons of fresh greens out too so I grabbed some fresh arugula, one of my favorites.
Once we were back upstairs we started making the soup and I realized I needed a can opener and guess who doesn't own one. Of course. Also with perfect timing when I have pots cooking on the stove already Kyle gets an important phone call and is no where to be found as I tear up the kitchen looking for something to open the 6 cans I have. Just a little but frantic. What was mind boggling to me is I made this same soup last time I was out here, so I must have had a way to open the cans when I was here last time. I don't remember how but I don't remember opening 6 cans being this difficult. I ended up using this old bottle opener and pretty much butchering the cans while Kyle was on YouTube (aka his dictionary to life) trying to figure out how I could open them.
Drama aside the soup tasted fantastic and the boys devoured it. They didn't even notice the bits of metal at the bottoms of their bowls! (yes that was a joke, they weren't bits they were chunks) hehe. Anyways the guys who came over were Jesse and Andrew who I know and then a new guy Evan. Sean and Ann were going to come but they were unsure about the kids. Now that I think about it, Kyles apartment is no where child proof so that's probably a good thing. Jesse brought poker so after dinner we played I had never played poker before and after a thousand questions I kinda had it figured out. I didn't do too bad either.
