And Life Goes On....

I have been sick for the past 10 days, who knows with what. Bronchitis? The flu? One doctor said no pneumonia, another said yes pneumonia. Cough, cough, cough, hack, hack, hack -- all day and all night, enough to wake the dead, although none of them have shown up at my house. Anyway, to put it mildly I'm miserable, so when I read the headline on AOL , "Stanley Tucci's 6 Tips for Making Soup Are Life-Changing" I jumped on it, since right now changing my life sounds very appealing.

Sadly, the headline had over-promised, suggesting things I already do. So my life wasn't going to change after all. But at the end of the article it referenced another one entitled, coincidentally, "Ina Garten's 6 Tips for Making Soup Are Life-Changing." So then I clicked on that one right away, thinking who knew making soup could be so life-changing? Alas, it turned out that Ina's suggestions, like cooking the soup on simmer and using a Dutch oven, were also things I already do.

Damn those headline writers! I guess I'm stuck with this cold for a while.
