If you want to get rave reviews on
any soup you make, the first element is to make sure
your loved one first has a long, steady diet of
military food. Here’s our story:
When my husband and I were first
married, he was in the military and had lived for
months off of military food. We purchased a small
trailer, while waiting for it to be delivered and
hooked up, we lived with another young military
couple for a few weeks.
All 4 of the young adults in this
household had many responsibilities and lots going
on with life, so the housekeeping end of things were
pretty slack. One evening we all pitched in and
started cleaning. There was a pan that had several
days old, dried macaroni and cheese stuck all over
the pan. The husband told the wife to put hot soapy
water in it and let it soak.
The following day, she and I both
had the morning off, so we went to do laundry at the
local Laundromat. We came home after lunch to find a
note from our husband’s saying, “Thanks for the good
soup.”
We looked at each other and asked,
“What soup?” Neither of us could figure it out, so
just figured the guys must be loosing it, and
shrugged it off.
When they got home that evening we
asked, “What soup were you referring to?” With that,
the husband’s eyes got huge, as he remembered then
telling his wife to fill that pan with the old,
dried macaroni and cheese with hot, soapy water and
it was left on the stove for soaking. They had
heated up this soap mess and ate it! Not only that,
they ate half the kettle.
You can be sure; they appreciate
any real food that’s cooked. Its so nice to be
appreciated. It’s so wonderful cooking for
“non-picky eaters”.
