My good friend and WOYPBC co-host Donna and I are taking an ElderCollege course in her home community on Wednesday mornings. We usually follow this up with a walk and lunch. I’ve been lucky enough to be invited back to her place for our lunch…or am I?! This was a pre-lunch conversation during one such walk.
Donna: I’m going to serve us the lemon-lime soup I’ve been telling you about, for lunch.
Me: The one you said wasn’t that good? And that you were hoping to pawn off on me, to get rid of?
Donna: Oh goody, you remembered! Yes, that one.
She then peppered me with food safety questions about this soup – was it safe to reheat it in the crock pot for hours; how long could it be left out to thaw before it became dangerous, etc. (By now my eyebrows had completely disappeared into my hairline and I was wondering who I could get to call me on my cell so I could plead an emergency and beg off lunch 😉). Then she revealed that it was actually still in the freezer and she would heat it up once we got back to her place. Phew!
And now, for the moment of truth:
Friends, it WAS delicious. After all the anti-hype about the lemon-lime soup, imagine my relief!
I hope you’ve enjoyed this less than serious WOYPBC post. You know I am just kidding about Donna using me as a human garbage disposal, right? You were just kidding too, Donna…right? Please share with Donna and/or myself what’s on your plate this month! Please check her take on slow cooking, here! And here’s the Link Party, if you are so inclined.
Rock on,
The WB
