It's Gone!

"What," you might ask, "Is gone?" Well, the Taco Soup is gone, and with one last bite, so will the cornbread.

One week ago today (seems like it was just the other day), my wife, and her daughter-in-law, made the Taco Soup. That evening, we served it, with cornbread, to a bunch of friends that dropped by to meet our family and tour the new house. I'm guessing about 15 bowls were served, and many spoon fulls went to those that only wanted to taste it.

Then we had it again for lunch and snacking the next day. Friday, my wife took the remaining stock to work and served it all day from a crock pot to the co-workers, friends, and customers dropping off their pets for medical care.

So that polished off the Taco Soup, but it took me until this morning to get to the last of the cornbread. Talk about getting your money's worth.

Well, an appointment with the tax guy is in a few hours. Then I got to do the grocery shopping for my wife. Seems she's come down with a cold this past weekend, so I've been pampering her until she regains her strength. She always gets hit much harder with these bugs and takes much longer to recover from them than I do. I think she has the whooping cough this time, but hopefully with the pampering I provide (doing all the cooking/cleaning/shopping/etc) she'll bounce back soon. She loved the chicken soup I prepared for her, but gets bummed because I so seldom fall ill.

Oh well... I'll find some time for the Dock anyway.
