Soup

On Tuesday evening, Greg, my mom and I attended Hot Soup, Cool Jazz at the St. John's Convention Centre. A fundraiser for at risk youth, local soup kitchens and gourmet restaurants shared their favourite offerings (we're talking curry seafood chowders, traditional miso soups, pureed butternut squash, and a fantastic potato, bacon and leek soup) in a competition to be judged by all attendees. A thoroughly enjoyable evening, complete with silent and live auctions and a jazz concert!, I highly recommend the fundraiser for St. John's residents about town.

As a bonus, the swaths of young lawyers, bankers and businesswomen at the event offered significant fashion inspiration for me!

P.S. The next time you find yourself at the Gypsy Tea Room, try the truffles. They're melt-in-your-mouth fantastic. Image via Purple Cloud.
