Call it the post-Thanksgiving energy burst. I managed to be awake at 5 a.m. for the flight back to New York. By 10 a.m., I was back in my apartment doing chores which I finished by noon! I decided then and there that I need some comfort food after an already full day. I made a tomato basil soup with a little kick of spice. I also made some croutons to throw in the soup by cubing Italian bread, tossing it in parmesan and olive oil then baking it.
