Late this afternoon Ryan’s cousin Daniel came over to our apartment so the two boys could enjoy an afternoon of throw-back video games.
Gamers
I wish I could say that the above picture was staged, but the facial expressions and random words coming out of these boys’ mouths were 100 percent original and genuine.
The guys weren’t the only ones enjoying the video games.
Can you spot Sadie?
Where's Sadie?
I hung out with the guys for a bit before unpacking and starting on dinner.
This evening the three of us enjoyed homemade chicken noodle soup. I had to make an old-school dinner to complement their old-school video games. 
Chicken Noodle Soup
I made the soup using my mom’s recipe, which is my all-time favorite chicken noodle soup recipe. It is a perfect cure for both colds and homesickness.
Sluuuurp
I love chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side.

Was the weather not a little hot for chicken soup? The soup looks amazing either way. Cannot wait to try and make it. Fingers crossed I can find the vegetable soup mix in the UK.

In your recipe, you wrote that you add chicken and water together first. Then you add chicken and vegetables. Did you mean that you simmer the chicken broth and water? Or do you add the chicken broth and veggies to the chicken/water?
It looks like a great recipe! Can’t wait to make it now that it’s getting colder!
Ashley
Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your
favorite justification appeared to be on the web the simplest
thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just
don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
