RE: "Now I have to be a smart azz here, and ask why in the heck did you not freeze single servings of that soup for future occassions"

Ha! Cathy- you troublemaker! I actually knew what kind of mess I was getting myself into... Still...

I was scheduled to go into work 2 hours early each night this week... so I planned to have the thick, fortified soup made ahead to eat each night just to aid me in not having to cook each night. It's worked well- but after nearly a whole week of eating the same thing- it's beginning to get old!

(Supper at your house tonight sounds heavenly!)

Oh-h-h-h I see a great plan in theory. But anything over & over again no matter how good does get to tasting blah after the first 2 days!
I love beef and barley, except the last batch I made I hated it I think I used too much barley:( Oh well not every dish is always a winner...we ought to start a thread on our FLOPS!!!!:rolleyes: That would be a long long thread that is for sure:D

Well, you asked for it, Cathy!

We had pancakes with turkey sausage for lunch and grilled shrimp with roasted asparagus is planned for a late night dinner.

I sure did, at that! You know the thread is cool, thanks for starting it Kevin. I love reading about flops for some reason! My philosophy: it kind of shines the light on our humanity and that we can laugh at oureslves and not take it all too seriously:D Life after all is a GRAND ADVENTURE, FLIPS, FLOPS AND ALL!!!
