Ode to Soup....🥣

"Do you have a kinder, more adaptable friend in the food world than soup? Who soothes you when you are ill? Who refuses to leave you when you are impoverished and stretches its resources to give you a hearty sustenance and cheer? Who warms you in the winter and cools you in the summer? Yet who is also capable of doing honor to your richest table and impressing your most demanding guests?…Soup does its loyal best, no matter what undignified conditions are imposed upon it. You don’t catch steak hanging around when you’re poor and sick, do you?"
~Judith Martin (aka Miss Manners), etiquette columnist



 
Fine lot of help you are! I still haven't decided, and time's a-wastin'. It doesn't help that DD and I were supposed to go grocery shopping (this morning) but DGD wanted to along. According to DD, we had to wait for her to get up. I just heard her walking across her bedroom (her room is right above The Hovel). It's cold. It's raining. I really can't get motivated to go out now. Maybe I'll make a shepherd's pie. Or a chicken pot pie. Or one of those soups. Still can't make up my mind, but when I finally do, I already have all the ingredients.

How much you wanna bet that DGD doesn't wanna go along after all? Kids.

More noyds escaping. Now DGD doesn't want to go grocery shopping. She only wants to go out to eat. I don't think we have an emoji that snorts steam from the nostrils so just picture it. DD and I were up at 7. Figured on grocery shopping not later than 10. So...now we're going grocery shopping tomorrow morning at 9. Well, yanno, unless we need to wait for DGD to get up and decide if she "feels good" and wants to go along. According to DD, she's "cranky" because she doesn't "feel good." How much you wanna bet she feels fine as soon as she makes some plans with her friends.

Rant over. I'm gonna make some kinda soup because, dammit, I don't WANT something from the freezer that can be nuked. I. Want. Soup.
 
Oh, I love to make soup. I make "refrigerator stew" when my vegetable bin needs cleaning out. In go the limp carrots and floppy celery and the week-old half onion. In go the plastic container of lima beans from dinner three days ago and the potatoes starting to sprout. I might make chicken soup or I might make beef soup or there just might be vegetable soup with some Better than Bouillon flavoring it. Who knows.
