I will drink it and drink it
Feb. 9th, 2015 07:09 pmFor the mending of broken people:
First, shop for onions.
Then make French onion soup. Allow a couple of hours.
Then have totally awesome massage therapist take you apart limb from limb, etc.
Then feed massage therapist with soup.
Probably what I should've done after that was lie wanly on the sofa and say "Ah, me" occasionally; in fact what I did was zoom off to the library and do some work. Then I came home and made secret chile verde, which has been stewing slowly for the last couple of hours and oh, people: I am so glad you are not here to taste it, for there would not be enough. There could never be enough of this. I have a sort of massage-hangover, where one half of me just wants to nap while another half wants to drink wine, but the third alternative half keeps going back to the pot with a spoon and slurruping up the juice, as though it were a kind of slow transient soup. I love soup, and have apparently not had enough today. I may possibly never have had enough; certain 'tis that we don't drink enough on a regular basis. Whatever happened to that notion where soup was a standard opening round, and the only question asked was thick or thin? ("Thin's less trouble to lick off the spoon," said Wimsey.)
