Good morning and welcome to mid-November’s Fare Exchange. Today’s requests in short form are: Soups from the restaurant Mainly Soup that stood on Brainerd Road and easy-but-interesting Thanksgiving meal ideas for every part of the meal.
We are getting close to the Magnificent Meal season of the year, as you may have noticed, and so the first request today is a rush one from Anonymous in Chattanooga: Ideas for a different, but not too difficult, Thanksgiving dinner. “I would like a different way to do the turkey, a little twist on dressing, some healthful sides that aren’t baked with buttered crumbs on top. And a spectacular dessert. I don’t want to work too hard to do this, as the guests are more important than the preparations of the meal, and I don’t want to be too tired to enjoy them.”
K.H. commented on Fare Exchange’s mention of Mainly Soup “on Brainerd Road – up on that hill. I remember that they served honey-butter with the delicious bread. I think that’s why I went there. This was a favorite date spot for my husband and me.”
We’d be grateful for a plethora of soups, a little dollop of honey butter and some yeast bread. How about some old Mainly Soup favorites, or mainly yours?
