My chicken soup recipe:

 

Call Grandma

 

No one can make chicken soup better than a Jewish grandmother, so why bother trying?

Out here Lakeside HS (Bill Gates and Paul Allens alma mater) are forfeiting this weeks football game because of too many players sick.

[John-in-KC 310]

Because I don't have a Jewish grandmother.

 

Because my last grandmother left this vale of tears not quite 35 years ago.

John, I only meant that in reference to my joke of a recipe. I certainly wasn't trying to be insensitive. I probably should have written "so why should I bother trying?"

 

Of course, I intend to wrestle that recipe from her grasp one of these days, along with her vegetable barley soup, lemon meringue pie, plum tart, and just to show I can be politically incorrect, matzah-stuffed veal breast (a Passover favorite).

This is my first day back at work in the last 7. Probably should have stayed home two days before I did. I'll take a quart of John's soup and a gallon of Eamonn's cure.
