November 5: Nano Haiku

Chicken soup, try two!
Stock, meat (breasts and legs), carrots.
Question: What spices?

Tomorrow (eh, Saturday, I'm cheating and posting this a couple hours early) will be chicken soup attempt #2! KISS is the new rule for this! (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) Stock (store bought), meat, carrots (I failed to find a bag of the cut up mixed fresh stuff, so I got a bag of baby carrots). The question is, what kind of herbs/spices do I need to use? I have nothing fresh, but a good variety of things in a jar. Think it'll need salt, or will the stock be salty enough?

I'm going to wait until the end to see if I want to add noodles or not, since they took away from the first attempt.

I wonder if it would be too bland if I used only stock, meat, carrots? No random herbs?

(I don't actually like carrots, but it seems like just chicken cooked in stock isn't really soup.)

If you use words wrong, I will write you a strongly worded email!

Afternoon TV is pretty darned bad. You can watch Judge Judy or one of those knock-offs, soap operas, or old reruns. Generally I opt for a local news talk show, 7 Live.

It's not a very good show, but it's better than the "news" show it replaced (they treated ghost stories, psychic stories, ancient Chinese energy herb blah blah whatever stories as Real News, as real as, well, real news.). One of the hosts of this new show keeps saying things like:

"This is so exciting! Twitter is literally exploding with news of it!"

No. If Twitter were literally exploding it would be, well, literally exploding. (And boy would I be happy.)

So, having nothing better to do, I spent an hour tracking down an email address for her and sent her a strongly worded letter about her abuse of the English language. I fully expect to get a "lol y u mad?" sort of response back.

Unrelated, this is a pretty cool video. So creepy! Really good work on the lighting and music.
