Brrrrrr…is it cold outside or is that just me? Technically, it’s still fall. And technically we are still a week out from winter. But truthfully, it feels like the dead of winter. No amount of Christmas light cheer, fuzzy socks, or even my favorite peppermint tea can keep me warm.
Sure, this year I’m a bit more prepared for the chilly days and nights ahead. For instance, I finally caved and bought THE warmest winter coat. And yes, it happens to be more of a sleeping bag than a jacket. But who the heck cares when you’re snug as a bug. (Grab this sleeping bag/jacket for yourself here)
While, my jacket is keeping me warm on the outside, I still need something to keep me warm on the inside. Like a big fat bowl of Coconut Curry Shrimp Soup. If you’ve yet to give curry a try, you are missing out. Something about the intense spices and bit of heat remind me of warmer days.
Even when there’s a foot of snow on the ground…
But Coconut Curry Shrimp Soup is giving me life today! And it’s sure to do that all week long. It’s safe to say I always make a double batch. I’m big on leftovers, a fiend if you will. Instead of slaving in the kitchen, I can work on warming up over some peppermint tea while watching that Christmas tree glow if you know what I mean.
