This morning, I pondered “what shall I take for lunch?” I did not make any mini quiches, the lunchmeat had organized and formed it’s own colony, there were no leftovers since I haven’t cooked in a couple of weeks. I saw Tico grab a soup (lunch, snack, no idea) and I cast my eyes towards the top shelf of the pantry. A box of organic soup gazed down upon me. “I need to try new things” I thought. “And I don’t want more crap for lunch” so I took it. It is a box of Organic Butternut Squash Soup made by Pacific Foods. I grab the box (only 90 calories per serving! two servings in a box!) and head to work. Lunchtime rolls around. I heat my soup and think “oh man if this tastes like ass, I will be very hungry.” It’s about 35 outside right now and drizzly. I hate going out to lunch in a) shit weather and b) around here. I take my soup out of the microwave and smell…warm pumpkin pie….I am not a fan of warm pumpkin pie. I am also not a fan of sweet when I want savory. I wanted savory, this promised to be sweet. Yuck. I taste it. Not…too bad. I take a larger drink. Oh…my. No sir, I don’t like it. Not one bit. But I ate it. Because it was my lunch. And that’s what I brought. So now I have the smell of pumpkin pie lingering in my nose. Ick.

What did I learn? I still don’t like butternut squash. Not roasted, not roasted salted and buttered, and most definitely not in soup form.

Never again.
