powdered lunch.

i don’t usually eat lunch but by noon, i was ravenous.   the banana and apple didn’t satisfy me and i was craving something savoury. i should also mention that i am feeling unbelievably lazy today. the thought of going to the cafe downstairs is making me tired which means i get lunch from our kitchen which is pretty well-stocked if you like vegemite, jam, white bread, oatmeal and olive oil. we also get instant soup in. i chose of packet of ham and pea. i love pea soup.  i’ve never had it from a packet before so i thought i would try it.  i was distressed to see that the powder was orange…not green.  did this deter me?  no! i filled my mug with boiling water and stirred away the orange lumps.  yum yum. it didn’t taste bad per se.  but it didn’t taste like ham or peas. i found that the soup tasted better once i had crumbled up a million cheese crackers in it.  i have a morbid curiosity to go back to the kitchen and see what ingredients comprise the pea and ham soup – what exactly were those chewy bits that didn’t get dissolved (ham bits? carrot bits?).  ignorance is bliss i think.
