Fantastic piece, E.K.! Brilliant take on the challenge and so clever. Loved it!! Could use a bowl of mazo ball soup right now…💫💞
I see what Mackenzie means with the time, I read it slightly more hopelessly, but either way....outstanding.
Impressively minimalist!
Oh! I really what you did here. Soup cures all, and time of course. Excellent piece.
This was soooo heartwarming and wonderful! Loved your take on the challenge!
SO CLEVER. I love this! And that “time” typo really brings in a greater depth. You nailed the minimalism!! Penicillin soup indeed. 🤗
MmMm… nothing more delicious and healing than matzo ball soup this time of year. 🤍
Terrific list & loved it!!!❤️❤️💕
