I'm working on my Friday off :( But it's because I took yesterday off, hehe... B was sick and since we carpooled I couldn't really go to work. Also, it was a good excuse to stay home because I couldn't get up!!!

I spent the day running errands and doing things around the house when I got back to my place. Since B's throat was hurting, I figured he couldn't eat much more than soup. I made egg drop soup for lunch, but for dinner I tried making the Olive Garden Zuppa Toscana using this recipe. This is my favorite soup at OG, hence the only soup I order from them. It was a bit more time-consuming than I had imagined, but I think it turned out ok. It didn't taste bad, but I'm not sure it tasted just like OG's. It was similar at best, but I'm hoping that day-old soup will taste much more like the real thing :D Perhaps my impatience could explain the difference, or not cooking it exactly as the recipe says.

I've debated whether or not I should make the OG Alfredo Pasta tonight to make it a real OG meal (and since I can't eat meat today), but I think I'll pass on that for now and just make some instant pasta :D
