What. A. Monday. You know those days when you really try to do your best? You wake up 30 minutes early, early enough to blow dry your hair, pick out a cute outfit, fit in a few chores? You show up at 8 AM on the dot, prepared for all your meetings, prepared to be a ‘yes man’ and cruise through every deadline that’s handed your way? Today, I showed up at work as nerd-tastic as ever.
And today, I returned home not nearly as chipper as when I had left, and for no reason in particular. The second I walked in the door I changed into a long-sleeved Gator tee I’ve managed to hold onto since college orientation, I hung my dry-cleanables, and curled into bed, with no thoughts of dinner, and continued where I had left off with the Kindle.
It wasn’t until I was interrupted by a phone call that I considered dinner should be a thing that happens tonight. The first things that crossed my mind were soup, noodle soup, easy soup, comforting little kid soup…
FoodFash Chickenless Noodle Soup
Boil 1/2 cup dry noodles (I used wide egg noodles) until they are fully cooked. Pour the cooked noodles and about 2 cups of the noodle water into a soup bowl. Dissolve one Not Chick’n bouillon cube in the bowl and, when the soup has cooled down a tad, enjoy!
This soup has zero nutritional value, but I tell ya, the comfort value is off the charts. Back to Kindle-land for me!
I love your nerdiness… I’m the exact same way with the Kindle!! xoxo.
OMG I love that photo!!!! Bubbling fast comfort… yeah
