My One-hundred-and-forty-second Post

So I made soup last night. But it wasn't just soup. It was SOUP! It was my Mom's homemade chicken noodle soup. Where everything is homemade. And let me tell you something--it's difficult raising chickens in BYU-approved housing.

Anyway, so along with this soup, I decided to make bread bowls. Turns out, bread bowls are much better with a cream based soup, so I ended up just slicing the bread bowls and eating it with my soup.

It was fantastic, but I stayed up too late making it. So this morning when I woke up I was more groggy than usual. I reheated some soup (I love leftovers--of any kind--for breakfast) and cut off a hunk of bread bowl to go with it. I started dipping the bread into the broth and eating it that way, but after a while the bread and the broth were gone, leaving large chunks of vegetables, noodles, and chicken in the bottom of my bowl. I just stared at it for a while, trying to figure out how to eat it. Should I get more bread? But then, how would that help? The noodles would not balance well on the bread, and it would be a mess to eat. Then, miraculously, I found this strange utensil lying on the table by my bowl. It was somewhat like a small spade, but the edges were curled up on the end, forming a small shallow bowl. This would be perfect for scooping up the goodness in my bowl and escorting it to my mouth! What luck!

The end.

Tee hee. You're hilarious!

Good thing you didn't have a spork laying around on your table. That would have been messy. Sporks are unnatural creations.
