Garbage Soup

Lots of people make soup from leftovers.  I love soup, but for some reason, it usually doesn't occur to me, especially when it's ninety degrees outside.   Today, however, it did.  

I took all the things from the refrigerator that could possibly work in a turkey soup—including the leftover turkey—and started cutting it up to put in a pot.    I wasn't sure on seasonings, but my husband looked some things up online and I figured it would be edible at worst, and flavorful at best.

Two hours later the house smelled great and the soup was better than I expected.  My husband, who doesn't like soup usually, thought it was good too.   He may have been willing to eat it though because I made him Biscoff ice cream per his request.

The Big Boy Update:  My son was playing with something at the doctor's office two days ago and pretending to be a doctor.  He said, "this is a schictobamdachus" as he wielded a duplo lego piece.   "What does it do," I asked him?  "It makes band aids," he told me.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  The Wincess.   My daughter couldn't decide what outfit she wanted at Costco for Halloween.  My son's choice was easy, with Iron Man being his immediate and definitive selection.  My daughter chose based on color, not theme of the outfit.  The next day she wanted to be saved by Iron Man (he told he he would save her and she was a princess).   So she put on her green and purple witch costume and was a princess.   I told her she was a wincess, because witches needed to have princesses too.

Fitness Update:  My friend found that article about blood sugar and the benefits of interval training.  Our Uncle Jonathan has been doing interval training and just ran the fastest 10K he's ever done at something like 7:30 per mile.  My ten to eleven minute miles is almost a crawl in comparison.  Here's a link to the article.
