First we have soup!
Yesterday was a fun day. Bryan's arrived at 11:30- before I even got home from grocery shopping for the day. M & D arrived soon after and the fun began. I had decided to make homemade, soul-satisfying, hearty beef stew for lunch and tacos for dinner. Not too many people make homemade soup anymore these days. But things spiraled out of control when someone said, "are you having soup for lunch?" which of course plays right into my insecurities. Why, don't you want soup? What do you want for lunch? Would you rather have tacos for lunch and soup for dinner- a heartier meal for lunch and lighter for dinner? Are you suggesting you are hungry enough for tacos now? WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT? But when it was all said and done, it ended up that I made the delicious stew for lunch with cantelope and corn bread and tacos for dinner which turned out perfectly well. I may be prejudiced but I thought it all tasted wonderful and the soup hit the spot. And it turns out that the question that started it all was really just an innocent question so the person asking could get his/her taste buds ready (that was really all it was, right?). Ahhhh, family!

Whoa ease up woman! What's with the paranoia? ;) Sometimes a question is just a question. Much like, "You'll be doing all the cooking when you're here for a couple weeks, right?" Sidenote: I LOVE soup!!
Ahhh, Young Grasshopper. You have such a sense of humor. Hahahahahahaah!
Hello and welcome to Lunch-Fone. Using your touch-tone dial, press the first three letters of the lunch item you would like to eat. Press 1 for homemade soup, press 2 for tacos, press 3 for psychiatric help, and press 4 to return to the top of the "menu." BTW: Why don't you just tell me what you would like to eat.
Serenity now, Me, serenity now!
