Marion, Ohio: Great Swap, Cute Snacks!

Valerie of Consider It Done, writes on her blog, "The Soup Swap was a huge success! We had a nice variety of soups to swap, and enjoyed a wonderful evening of food (thank you, Charley!!!) and fellowship."

On her blog, you can see some creative snacks she made for the swap that delight us to no end: hors d'oeuvres designed to look like bowls of soup from above. She succinctly sums them up this way, "They don’t really taste like the soups- that would be gross."

Soup as soup: Yea!
Crackers that taste like soup: No way!

Take a look at them right here on her blog, Consider It Done.

Shout Outs: Marion, OH and Texas

We're not above doing a shout out to meet new folks swapping soup. We are a bit fiendish about pictures with the blue containers and most folks we see are quite awesome and link folks back to the the guidelines and tips we've put together.

Hence, we welcome Valerie of Consider It Done, and the town of Marion, OH to Soup Swap. You can see the page she put together to help spread the word with her posse here. I am assuming knitters have posses.

They'll be having their first of what they hope will be an annual Soup Swap on Tuesday, January 29 and if you are up there north of Columbus, you can check with her at her blog, here.

In other mysterious data, what is going on in Houston?
