Nice sunny afternoon, perfect to fire the mud oven. A relative posted a recipe from Pintrest. A creamy tomato soup with tortellini, ground sausage and sun-dried tomatoes. The wife worked on that inside and I fired the oven for calzones.
I started firing at 4:00 with all maple. I do notice we are gaining at little more daylight every day. January thaw coming up this week.

Sausage and cheese in. There is a steam jet shooting out of the calzone in the center of the pic.

Soup finished. Grated parmesan gave it a nice flavor.

I really don't like regular tomato soup, but the cream and chicken stock take the sharpness out of it.
It turned out to be a really good recipe.
