Soup Envy

soup envy

My husband and I wage a silent battle about who works the hardest, and who's the most tired. But apart from that, we fight about who can cook the best soup.

Bland versus spicy

Hubby says his soup tastes the best, but I think it's more bland than Tinkiewinkie without his red purse. So I told hubby he was very much mistaken, and my spicy soup obviously was the better dish. But he kept gulping down big glasses of water to make his point. Again.

'Hey, that's my soup!'

So when I cooked myself a lovely pot of soup, I poured the leftovers into a bowl, to have for lunch the next day. But suddenly I heard the banging of pots and pans, and saw hubby heating up my soup!
'Hey, that's my soup, you know!' I called out.

'I'm hungry' hubby said, and added: 'I'll leave you some, don't worry.'
Triumphantly I said: 'So you do like my soup!'
Hubby didn't respond, but then I heard him use the kitchen faucet, and pretending to talk to himself: 'Right, let's add a whole lot of water to get it to taste right!'

I'm just saying.

It's obvious who wins the Prize of Patience and Restraint!

Hurray! This post won a link up at Share The Wealth Sunday!

    I was starving for some positive reinforcement, so against my better judgement I asked hubby: 'Please say something nice to me?' In my defense: it had been a very long day, and the kids had been awful! Hubby immediately got that familiar deer-in-the-headlight look, while I waited patiently. Minutes went by, and the silence got...

    If you're a blogger you get all kinds of requests. Like people offering you guestposts out of the goodness of their heart. All they ask in return is a small link to their gambling website. It's nothing, really. But last week I got a new kind of offer, asking me if I'ld like to pose...
