We came in on Tuesday and, after visiting Michael's family and having much food and wine (okay, I had much wine) we decided to get some groceries at Safeway pretty late at night. It had been a long day and we were trying to get 'er done rather quickly, while at the same time we were looking for good deals.We got 2 for 1 organic yogurt (needs to be eaten rather quickly, but we can manage).
And we got pork soup.
Yes.
We bought soup that had pork it in.
It wasn't pork and beans.
It's like... minestrone soup with pork.
Somehow it seemed like it made sense at the time, but we opened a can the other day and we had a couple of bites and then the inevitable question was "are you enjoying your pork soup?".
It's now a thing. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to say "soup" without first saying "pork" again.
Anyways. Some things are on sale for a reason.
In other news, I went for another 10k run on my own this time. I went earlier so it wasn't as hot, but it was another stellar day. Not a cloud in the deep blue sky. Looking over the vineyards at Okanagan Lake, listening to cool rave music from Ferroever which she sent me when she was living in Japan. It was almost a religious experience, I gotta tell ya.
Then we went out for dinner and for a walk on the beach. There was an electrical storm which was pretty cool and we played in the sand and watched 16 and 17 year olds awkwardly put the make on one another and I shuddered to think what a dork I must have been like half a lifetime ago.
Ha! I'm still a dork.
Then I said to Michael "do you think I'm pretty?" and he said "oh yes: the prettiest". Which would be funnier if you could see his sisters and his nieces and his sister in law. It's like I inadvertently blundered into a Vanity Fair shoot of this year's supermodels or something.
But god, I can shill Campbell's Soup, can't I?

We have all the pork soup shipped up north of the border. They found it didn't go over well down here. Instead they leave us with 'cream of squash blossom soup'. Try it, but not if you have a lot of fillings in your teeth, it has a distinct metal taste, kind of like putting a piece of aluminum foil in your mouth. Reminds me of Randy Quaid in the buffet line in Vegas Vacation "I'll have a little of the yeller."
LOL.
Michael left a can of it at his mom's. I hope he mixed it in adeptly with the rest of the soup so one day she'll open a can of it and have a couple of bites and be like "WTF?". Like what we did. :)
