Bisque & Labels

I dig a good soup, especially in the winter time. When I saw this Mushroom-Tomato Bisque (pg. 588 Better Homes & Garden, sorry, it's my newest cookbook) I was excited to try it. A few months back my SIL Marianne introduced me to Zupas. The wild mushroom Bisque is to die for. I was hoping this recipe would turn out something like Zupas but alas it didn't measure up. What I did find out though is the goodness of the baby portabello. We had them sauteed up with a few other ingredients with pork chops and baked potatoes as well as in our soup. Heaven. The biscuits were a new recipe as well but nothing special compared to my go-to recipe.

I'm almost caught up with work and ready to play. I've got a list a mile long on my crafty "to do" list. I quickly finished one of them today. Here's the before photo.
And the after. Simple vinyl labels for my canisters.
Quick, simple, and cheap-

How to:

(spaced taking photos of the steps. I'll catch on one of these days)

Design and cut out vinyl labels with your electronic cutter or you can purchase them (google "vinyl labels").

Clean and dry surface. I used two strips of horizontal tape across the top of the canister (one below the other) to measure down and make sure the label was straight and equal on each. Without removing the backing use painters tape or masking tape across the top edge of your label to hold it in place where you want it to be.Lift the label up and crease the tape holding it (like a hinge). Remove the backing and hold the label away from the canister. Working from the hinge down slowly rub the label onto the canister with a credit card making sure you don't get any air bubbles. Remove the transfer tape.
