adding a little flavor ala “Stone Soup” the folktale not the comic.

NGL i actually want to lay in soup now

“What are you doing in my soup?”

Well, it’s not the backstroke.

No soup for you!

Apre Soup?

He’s being the main ingredient.

Tenderizing.

Where else do you expect a stone-age fart to take a long soak?

Well, now you’re in a soup for sure.

Some soup. One carrot and one stalk of what might be celery.

“…Oh, wait…it tastes better now…”

If she’s using the hot tub to cook in, remind me not to eat at her table.

Giving it flavor?

OMG!!!!! What kind of flavoring is that?!? He’s providing the sweat, she’s gonna provide the blood and tears. . .

After she boils him in 7 Up she’s going to eat all of him except his thing because everyone knows things go better with Coke.

The soup will be too salty now.

You need half a potato to reduce the salt and some smoked paprika for taste. I’m sure you can find a full recipe on the internet.

Egad! Head cheese and assflac.

Does this look familiar to anybody else? I can’t place it but I’ve seen the same thing somewhere.

Becoming an ingredient?

uh… I’m the meat broth? :D

Surrendering?

Oooops! Wrong cauldron….

Soon to be not very relaxing.

I appreciate how many caveman-hours it took to carve that pot out of a giant rock.

Those early Bed and Breakfast places didn’t always have clear instructions on kitchen protocol.

No problem, he’s still dressed, sort of.

A man in a large cauldron over an open fire. Next thing you know, they’ll be on a tiny island with one palm tree… ☺

Why are you putting vegetables in my hot tub?

Too many chafs spoil the broth (soup) or one tired skier.

How to make stone soup – boil some water. Add one average sized stone age man.

The best way to relax after a hard day of skiing; sitting on the sun deck of a trail side condo, sipping wine, nibbling on cheese, and watching the poor skiers schlep back to their wretched hovels. Ahhh.

Long Pig Stew…?? (ͼ ̯ ͽ)

Giving it some added flavor…….

Flavoring it.

I had to go to urbandictionary dot com to figure out what NGL means … “not going to lie” which then got me concerned about lay or lie in soup. Here is an overly involved explanation of what I found…. and thanks to the nit picker who corrected To Serve Man… I am old enough to have seen the original Twilight Zone. At any rate, here is the explanation.

[Middle English leien, from Old English lecgan; see legh- in Indo-European roots.]Usage Note: Lay (“to put, place, or prepare”) and lie (“to recline or be situated”) have been confused for centuries; evidence exists that lay has been used to mean “lie” since the 1300s. Why? First, there are two lays. One is the base form of the verb lay, and the other is the past tense of lie. Second, lay was once used with a reflexive pronoun to mean “lie” and survives in the familiar line from the child’s prayer Now I lay me down to sleep; lay me down is easily shortened to lay down. Third, lay down, as in She lay down on the sofa sounds the same as laid down, as in I laid down the law to the kids. · By traditional usage prescription, these words should be kept distinct according to the following rules. Lay is a transitive verb and takes a direct object. Lay and its principal parts (laid, laying) are correctly used in the following examples: He laid (not lay) the newspaper on the table. The table was laid for four. Lie is an intransitive verb and cannot take an object. Lie and its principal parts (lay, lain, lying) are correctly used in the following examples: She often lies (not lays) down after lunch. When I lay (not laid) down, I fell asleep. The rubbish had lain (not laid) there a week. I was lying (not laying) in bed when he called. · There are a few exceptions to these rules. The phrasal verb lay for and the nautical use of lay, as in lay at anchor, though intransitive, are standard.Are we having fun yet????

I haven’t read all the comments so I hope mine is not redundant. But this year, I looked up the “BC Thanksgiving Special” on YouTube – someone once referenced it. It was a hoot! The whole show revolved around “Jane” starting a kettle of stone soup and everyone looking for a turkey to add to it.

Flavoring it?

Good thing she came along. He may have been the soup de jour.

It needed salt and odeur de fart.

I can recall several times that Bugs Bunny ended up in a stewpot, roaster, cauldron, etc.

Reminded me of how survey crews up north used to (?) get a bath in a 45 gall oil drum on the shore of a lake after making a small fire on one side of the barrel.

shooing away the flies

Humanoid beings in my soup…..

“Salting it.”

Maybe she should try “a good old Louisiana Back-bay Bayou Bunny Bordelaise, a la Antoine”

“Flavoring it.”
