I honestly can't tell you what the marinade was or what the sauce was, as they were both pre made by my papa..
..but I cooked it and it was yummy! The ribs were sweet/salty and the eggplant had some kind of soy based sauce on them.

I yielded approx. 20 or more cups once it was all done. This soup is my sort of FREE thing I eat before having my portioned entree, I look at it as a filler-upper, helps me stay full, less temptation to snack later.

I love these kind of soups too, before my meal or as a snack. Warms you up and fills you up with not a lot of calories, just yummy veggies mostly. Potage I think it is called? I usually make it with cauliflower, potato, celery, onion, and low sodium veggie or chicken broth. Yours looks so good! So cozy. :tongue:

Yesterday we all had a big lunch, so for supper I made pasta with mushroom sauce, coleslaw, and garlic bread.

The taco's at the They birthday party were a hit. The kids all sat at the table for over half an hour, and they ALL ate. They loved making their own. 2 of my dd's told me that they were going to do the same thing when they do parties for the kids. I'm happy I had that idea and the kids had fun with it. I can honestly say it's the first kids party I've been to that the children actually sat still at the table and they all ate something. The cake was a hit too, just a fabulous day all around.

Tonight I think I will have a watermelon salad. I just love it. It so easy, very filling and refreshing. I just cut watermelon into 1 inch pieces, cut red onion in thin slices and add it all to a bowl. I add chunks of feta cheese, drizzle it all with a small amount of balsamic vinigar and black pepper and mint. It delisious, and it's whats for dinner tonight :)

Tonight its roast, mashed potatoes and carrots with chocolate cupcakes for dessert. Finally a nice cool day where turning on the oven won't heat us out of the house!
