Excerpts from the diary of a man who made too much split pea soup
Day 1:
Mixed up the recipe proportions and ended up with way too much split pea soup! That’s okay, it’s my favorite soup and it came out delicious. I’ll just have plenty of leftovers for the week.
Day 2:
Wow that soup was even better the next day for dinner! Definitely having some more tomorrow for lunch.
Day 3:
Ended up going out with the guys for lunch today. Soup isn’t a lunch anyway and who can really eat the same thing three days in a row? And isn’t it going to rain tomorrow anyway?
Day 4:
How long does soup really keep for anyway? I know it’s just a bunch of vegetables but that is kind of grossing me out right now.
Day 8:
Did I remember to throw out that soup? It can’t still be good.
Day 12:
I need to remember to throw out that soup on garbage night.
Day 16:
Forgot to clean out the leftover from the fridge before taking out the trash yesterday. Leaving a note on the door for next week.
Day 22:
Never eating split pea soup again.
Next year:
SAME THING HAPPENS
