I Swear This Soup Is So Good!

[aggienaut]

   I am presently having a thoroughly positive lunch experience. Went to Stater Bros and got a massive chicken noodle soup for $4.99. Compare this to the the tiny "large" chicken tortilla soup I got from Corner Bakery yesterday! The Corner Bakery "large" was smaller than the medium at Stater Bros, cost more than the SB large, and was not half as good. This thing is delicious.
   Additionally I got a smoked sausage and three chicken strips, for a total of $9.
   They had mustard, but not honeymustard sauce, so I ended up trying to mix honey (which, of course, we have) with mustard to make some...

   In other news the radio was goin on about who messed up Obama's oath, Obama, or Chief Justice Roberts.
   This of course, brings me back to the five times or so I swore in ASUCD presidents. The most memorable of which, I think, was swearing in Darnell Holloway and VP Genevieve Carnes. Outgoing president Caliph Assagai had had this massive going away banquet so we had an audience of some 300 people (or more? It was a large full ballroom), and I don't know if we were just feeling silly or it was because Darnell, Genna, and I all knew eachother pretty well, but I swear we were all having trouble not cracking up in the middle of the oath.

   And for the record, it was clearly Chief Justice Roberts who messed it up. He didn't pause long enough after Obamas name, where its normal to let them say their name before you continue, and then of course he bungled where "faithfully" comes in. And "president OF" not "to." Guess someone was nervous ;D

Lunch sounds like a much better deal. But chicken tortilla soup is a favorite.

You ass, I just read your last post that I've been saving in my RSS feed, and there you go and post another.

Bahaha yeah I know, two in so many days!

I've been blogging a lot more over at emo_snal these days..

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm a fan of chicken tortilla soup too. This chicken noodle soup is so thick and delicious though!

[pavel-lishin.livejournal.com]

What's the difference again?

Emosnail vs Emo-Snal

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

That emo_snal gets updated more? :D

The biggest difference practically speaking is that emo_snal is doing this LJ Idol competition and emosnail will have nothing to do with it. So for better or worse there's a lot of entries pertainign to that over at Snal. More theoretically speaking, Emo-snal is more focused to random people on the internet while Emosnail is more focused to people I know IRL.

All this talk about soup is making me hungry. I make a mean chicken vegetable soup with tri- colored bow tie pasta. Thick, and oh, so good. Yum!

Mmmm. Yeah this soup was more of a stew it was so thick .. and delicious!! I'll post a picture of it presently haha :D

question for you

[tanukisuit.livejournal.com]

Why is beeswax worse than honey? Is it more labor intensive for the bees?

Re: question for you

[emosnail.livejournal.com]

"Worse" in what sense? But yes it does take significantly more time and resources for bees to make beeswax. I suppose, as one can imagine, it may be because its more dense and it follows therefore contains more material. Without knowing offhand or bothering to look it up though, Exponentially more pollen and bee-hours are required to make a givin amount of wax as the same amount of honey.

Re: question for you

[tanukisuit.livejournal.com]

I meant in the ethical "nice to animals" sense! I care about bees : (

Re: question for you

[emo-snal.livejournal.com]

Oh. Someone says its less ethical to use beeswax? Yeah I suppose just that the bees work harder at making it. Who says this?

I've always had beef with the super-vegans who won't partake of honey. I can understand the argument that milk or wool don't come from killing animals but still lead to some degree of exploiting them, but in contrast the situation with bees is that man-made hives are the optimal living space for bees. The internal cavity space is calculated to be the optimal size, everything is set up nice and straight for maximum hygiene, etc etc.

Re: question for you

[tanukisuit.livejournal.com]

yeah, I understand

I've been reading up on this, it seems as though some beekeepers will keep their whole hive and let them have the amount of beewax they need to thrive. So I think the practice could be perfectly ethical.
