Mon mari was a little, um, testy today.
He was doing the last of the floor tiles in the den, and, as usual, having to rearrange a few things before he got started. There were 2 small bookcases with some odds and ends that haven’t found a permanent home yet.
One of those items was a golf trophy I won in Andorra.
He, quietly came into the hall, trophy in hand, and inquired as to why I might have seen fit to unpack such a decorative but useless, item, forcing him to move it for the 4th time this week.
I calmly explained that, obviously, while he was lounging in hospital, I spent days, if not weeks, searching through every box in the barn, looking for this trophy. Out of all the things I needed to unpack, this was the most important. I spent at least 100, valuable, hours looking for it.
Or….
Maybe he had stuck the stupid trophy inside my stock pot when he packed up the pantry 18 months ago and, when I unpacked the kitchen, I found it and didn’t feel like going to the effort of finding a box and repacking it.

Mine would ask the same kind of question.
That soup looks good. I’m all out of wild rice, I’m going to have to try and find some.
I made wild rice as a side dish for Thanksgiving and will add the leftovers to my turkey soup. Thanks for a good idea!
Kate, Today I received a large box from CA. It was from Nancy Hollowell who sent me a box of apples with some apple muffin mix. What a delight!. The apples perfumed the entire house. Thanks for keeping this going. Judith Sedtal
That soup looks awfully good. I’m sitting here eating turkey curry, myself. Later, we may finish off the turkey Tetrazzini!
I love wild rice but sometimes find the flavour overwhelming. What a great way you’ve found to use it. Looks awfully good.
I love the addition of wild rice here Katie. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Poppy Fields, could it be because they don’t, um, pause and think?
Zoomie, the turkey wild rice soup is a big tradition at our house.
Oh good, Judith…. I’m so glad you got such a nice package…
Lisa, Tetrazzini…. I love tetrazzini! Haven’t made it in years. Next week.
Neil, I think it’s a Minnesota thing – I love it straight and plain. Most people think it’s a bit much that way.
Val, I always smuggle some back with me…
