On the final weekend of September, it was time for the terrific Bookmarks Festival of the Book, and that's the draw that brings dear UNC friends Margaret and Tathy to the house for a few days. They are pretty busy with the daytime events but then we get to enjoy visiting with one another in the front parlour once they've come in for the night. We also set aside time last Saturday night to have supper together, and the rain and drear of that early morning set me on a course for Vierling Saloon chicken and wild rice soup. Always a crowd pleaser, this hearty dish signals the advancing autumn season and has been a long-time favorite of the household.
I also had some fresh-baked rosemary-garlic focaccia to go with it, and it too fit the bill well. And while we did have our periods of rain, by that evening it was pretty nice for a good sit and visit on the front porch.
