Review:
I wanted this to be good. But it, sadly, was not. I don’t know if it was because I was kind of sick and chocolate didn’t sound good, let alone squash soup…or if it was really that bad. I tried it and salt and peppered, tried it again, salt and peppered more, tried it again and then dumped it down the sink. Luckily, I also made taco salad and so we ate that for dinner instead. Maybe if you really really love squash this would taste good to you. I like squash okay but I think that this soup reminded me of baby food, tasteless and boring. Next time I make squash I’ll be baking it with a little butter and sugar on top instead. 1 star.
I guess I'm leaving a comment about what gift I was most excited to give this Christmas…well, it was a watch that I bought my husband from Nomorerack.com (love the deals on this website!) I wasn't completely sure it was the kind he had said he had wanted a few years ago but…it was and he was thrilled when he opened it..I was too(especially because I got a watch that usually costs $1800 or so for $160!)
Thanks..and I love your website! Julie
I love that crockpot..so cute! The gift that I am excited to give…I have a daughter-n-law that has stolen my heart and I get to spoil her with " girly" things. …so fun shopping for her!
