I discovered the secret of life

On Sunday, we asked the kids what they wanted for dinner. S mentioned he wanted chicken noodle soup. So Monday we ended up with a rotisserie chicken so I could soak the carcass to make broth. S will eat roasted chicken without ever complaing and I finally figured out why. He likes the drumsticks. I asked him if I could make him drum sticks when I make chicken dishes. His eye lit up and he nodded. Why the hell didn't I realize this sooner????

But it was funny shopping with him because he thought we were buying soup. Instead, we bought ingredients. He really liked the alphabet pasta I picked out. Note to self - never put the pasta in the soup pot at lunch. It disintegrates by the time you get home. Oops!
