Soup monster

[ladyofastolat]

I posted a few months ago about the concealed Brie that Pellinor's Mum securely hid for us into a soup-making gift set that she sent to us. Last night, I decided to make the soup. The instructions told me to tip the entire 500g sachet into a pan, add 2 pints of boiling water and a stock cube, and simmer until done, adding additional water if needed

Oh dear, that sounds horrible. Still, the local wildlife may (or may not) be thankful! Let us know how well (or not) it goes!

Well, none of the daytime birdies seem to have shown any interest in it, since the pile hasn't been noticeably disturbed today. I'll see tomorrow morning if the night-time wildlife is more interested, although foxes and badgers aren't really renowned for their love of boiled barley.

Mind you, since the pile is about the size of Snowdon, a hundred blackbirds could gorge on it all day without it appearing noticeably smaller at the end of the day. We might need to measure the reduction of the "soup" pile in geological time, rather than human time.

LOL!! :D

EDIT: Btw, why have I got the Soup Dragon on my brain... *shows age - and possibly mental instability*

Were the night-time wildlife, aka rats, more interested?

Therefore I have tipped it in a big heap in the lawn, to let the local blackbirds, gulls, cats and foxes feast on it.

As long as it doesn't feast on them. You may wish to monitor it to check it is not growing.

... but don't stand too close, while monitoring. In case a long tongue should suddenly lick out and grab you by the ankle.

[leesa_perrie]

Oooh, you don't want to be grabbed by a pile of 'soup'...!

I don't think it's growing, but I'm afraid to go out and check now. It hasn't eaten my cat, anyway - a fact she decided to tell me at the crack of dawn today, very loudly and very close.
