images-6.jpgA friend of mine is suffering from his own case of “the ickies” and was feeling pretty bad today. Little did he know that while he was suffering though illness he would make my day.

I was told that I “was like chicken noodle soup” and that he was feeling better just from talking to me. (Blush)

I’m such a lucky gal to be compared to such a wonderfully, soothing food product (during Nation Soup Awareness Month no less). No one has ever likened me to a food before. But it made me think. If I were a food… what would I be? Hmmmmm. Let’s all think about it, a little self-reflection time. Let me know what you come up with.

The Final Dish: I wonder if veggie men like chicken noodle soup? Would a cayenne pepper go with chicken noodle soup?

    The sweetest thing my boyfriend has said to me in the 3+ years we have been together:

    “You are the Mountain Dew in my soda machine called life.”

    Makes me smile every time.

    As a true Mountain Dew lover, there is not a more affectionate statement that he could’ve made. Sole Mate, you should be very happy.

    Maybe someday I could be someone’s Mountain Dew.

    Funny you should ask “Would a cayenne pepper go with chicken noodle soup?” From: http://www.chileseeds.co.uk/medicinal-chilli.htm

    “Other research, and personal experience(!), confirms that chillies are very good at reducing the symptoms of colds and flu and generally helping boost the body’s natural defences and that they have anti-bacterial qualities.”

    I still maintain that we, the veggie men, are far more beneficial than any cookie ever will be. Cookies and sugar rot… vegetables only ripen.

    what about those veggies that you find smushed in the back of the fridge a month later?

  9. wcdishJan 14, 2007

    Excellent point Sarah. What about THOSE veggies Mr. Veggie Man?

    When I was little I vividly remember my mom saying that a head of lettuce just “disappeared” from a friend’s fridge. For years I thought this event was both miraculous and mysterious. Then I realized he probably wasn’t paying attention for the 6 weeks it took the head of lettuce to brown, shrink, liquify and evaporate in his veggie drawer.

Comment Guidelines
Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.

Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.

We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.

Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.

Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.

Be Concise. 'Nuf said.

What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.

Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.

Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.

Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.

If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.

Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.

We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
