    The soup turned out too sweet. I’d recommend leaving out the brown sugar, unless you like that sort of thing.

    […] Thanks to Mary, for the first time in a decade, Wal Mart did not fill our entire gift list. And depending upon how motivated we get between now and the big day, we may try one of Scribbit’s brilliant ideas or a yummy homemade idea generated at Magi’s Gifts from the Heart project. (Thank you for sharing your ideas!) […]
