Anne's Soggy Soup Recipe

Here's how you make soup a la Anne:

Ingredients:

Old Carrots
Old Celery
Egg Noodles
Roundy's Vegetable Soup broth
1/2 Onion
Large can of chicken breast

Directions:
Fill the largest pot you have with the soup broth. Realize it only fills it a little bit, so fill the box the broth came in with water. Add water to broth. Cut several carrots and celery stems, add them to the broth until it starts to look like soup. Cut up half of a red onion. Add this in there too, even though it looks like too much.

Let vegetables boil for an undetermined amount of time. Stick fork in carrot and taste. Kind of hard, but maybe soft enough to add noodles in.

Oops, add in the chicken first.

Add noodles in. Let simmer for way too long (at least an entire episode of Bewitched) so that noodles become very soggy. Add some soup-looking herbs from under the cabinet. Oregano or Barley, I'm assuming, may work.

Decide that last time, soup was kind of bland, so add a bunch of salt. A little bit too much. Taste salty, soggy soup.

Put an ungodly amount of soup that you now have into two large storage containers. Let sit in fridge because you are afraid to eat it now.

Servings: a billion.

Me actually finishing something.

DSCN0390.JPG Tada! And you thought I was one of those girls that starts a bunch of stuff, yet never ever finishes anything.

Well I am. This is a fluke.

This is the dress that I made for Sophie's Wedding. It looks a lot whiter than it is (I know, wearing white when it isn't your wedding is a faux pas) it's really a cream color. And I'll be wearing a blue sweater, blue sash and brown heels, so there will be a bit more color. I just wanted something light for the Texas weather. I actually finished this in one day, which is unheard of for me. I usually take about 4 months.

DSCN0392.JPGThe arm pits are still a bit big, however, so I'll have to nip the sides in a bit. Any suggestions? I worked so hard on the lining so that it looks nice and neat, but I'm thinking just serging up the sides will be just fine. I know no one will see it, but I like little details, like the lining being just perfect as it is now. Also, when I think about how much WORK it would be to seam rip the WHOLE THING just to tuck in an inch or so----I think I'll just use the serger. Again, any suggestions?
