Meal No. 3973: Roasted Broccoli-Cheddar Soup

Last Tuesday was my one weeknight to make dinner, thanks to an unexpected two-day reprieve from what was originally planned as a full week working in Virginia. But I do love being at home and the fall weather put me in a mood for soup. Roasted broccoli-cheddar soup, in fact, which was thick and creamy and absolutely delicious. While the recipe (noted below) was my launching pad, I confess that I don't refer to it anymore when I'm making it, and yep: it comes out just a little different each time. Last week's pot was as good as any I've made thus far!

In anticipation of the weekend of filming by students from the UNC School of the Arts, some of the crew were here doing preliminary set-up and staging late Tuesday afternoon. The big task was the prop desk that had to be carried upstairs for an office scene; otherwise, it was mostly staging and decorating the North Parlour for the other scene that will be shot here at the house.

We can also count on a collection of production crew members, the director, the cinematographer, the producer, and several faculty to conduct a location or tech scout ahead of the actual filming, which is the occasion for these final two pictures.
