Stone Soup

  • YAWN *

The grass is green and ankle deep
The ex and the kids are gone for the day
Lady winter has gone to sleep
The birds and bunnies are begging to play.

Lessee now, barrel of ice goes over here under the lilac trees urph grunt urph keg of Snake Dog IPA I think should go first, it’s not too bad at room temp Hep! Scrornch, we’ll do the Old Scratch or Single Track later this afternoon. Good, now where’s that tap … rattle rattle Clink Ah! Pfsst

Inigo takes a tap hit, just to get the foam out of the lines, you see.

OK, got water in the 50-gallon cauldron, light the fire FWOOMP mental not to not use gasoline to start a cooking bonfire.

What the? The cupboard is bare! Not even a soda cracker! Hm…well I got this piece of Columbia bassalt. It’s a little hard but I bet if I boiled it for long enough it’d soften right up and make a nice broth. Sploosh

Inigo takes another tap hit and sits back in the canvas lawn chair, watering the butterfly garden

Hey–I just stopped by and your butterflies look awesome…

I’m looking to get rid of this package of diced chicken, would you be able to use it?

There was a sale on Vidalia onions. I bought a bunch - I’ll bet they taste good with that rock!

Hey there, I thought I smelled chicken and onions steaming and figured I’d stop by to see wha…

Is that ale you’re drinking? Snake Dog huh, sure I’d like to try it.

Only I don’t have a glass, all I have are these two bottles of cheap Chardonnay. I’ll just dump them in the pot and fill up the bottles with the sweet hoppy goodness.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Somehow I knew Kyth would be here first. Oh and nd_n8, so sorry I forgot to put the cups out! I’ll just run inside and see what I can find. Meanwhile, Kythereia has some good-sized cups she might lend you.

mmmm…onions…

tooooooooooooooof ::cough::

'ere

(knocks on the gate) Can I come in? Was passing by with this bag of parsnips and carrots…

Oh, and a jug of Sangria… pass me a cup?

This soup should not be half bad, we got the onions, the chicken, the nice dry wine and now some herbage.

Any body bring some tunes?

::Stops to admire Kythereia’s cups::

How you doin’?

Just took the cheesecake out of the oven . . . it needs to cool for a bit. Tastes best at room temperature, anyway.

I’d rather not put that Sangria in my cups, if you don’t mind. :wink:

What about veggies? I’ve got some tomatoes out back.

Rock soup without a stick? Idiot!

Well, that’s to stir it with?

That smells pretty yummy, but know what? I have some extra carrots in my garden. You can’t have a soup without some veggies, so I’ll chop up some of my carrots and put them in.

does so

Whump

drops a whole bunny into the pot

Uh oh, time to change out the keg.

tastes the soup
Needs a little body. How 'bout I dump in a couple cups of pearl barley?

Hey, I have some meat tenderizer if you want to try tenderizing your rock, it might work on bassalt. Although I know some people really enjoy that satisfying crunchiness when their rocks are al dente.
