I love the sound of that soup! It needs to get just a tad colder here before I break out the soup pot - but this will be the first one I make!<br/><br/>Thanks Fuj! I am telling you..

I love butter nut squash. When Enzo was small enough that he ate whatever I made I used to buy a butter nut squash EVERY day in Hawaii and put it in his food. An expensive habit if you live in Hawaii but it was my indulgence. <br/><br/>btw, I love that wooden spoon. so classy. I’m convinced. I love butter nut squash.

So yummy! I love my immersion blender for that.<br/><br/>And I love cookbooks that have been written as beautifully and carefully as the recipes have been prepared. Maybe I'll get Joanne Harris's for Christmas - I'll have to send some not-so-subtle hints to Santa. Do you think this is a good one to have in Japan, or are there just too many ingredients I wouldn't be able to get my hands on?
