I made soup for lunch today.
If my webcam hadn’t been so downstairs at the time, I would have made an article out of it. It sounds like a bad idea, but it was quite the ordeal getting it done. I guess I’ll just sum it up for you.
Ryan decides to have soup for lunch. He proceeds to get the box, it says “4 pouches, 16 bowls” so it looks like he’s going to be eating a lot of soup. He reads the instructions “Mix contents into boiling water”. Ryan looks at the oven and says to himself “How do you work this thing?” After much trial, error, and burning, Ryan gets the water and soup onto an element. He starts to mix the block of “soup” and the water turns all murky. Now unaware of what is going on beneath the surface, Ryan continues to whisk away. After a while, Ryan notices that the water level is rising at an alarming rate! He reads the second and final step of the package “Lower temperature and put lid on pot”. sound easy enough, but at this point the water is almost at the top of the pot. Ryan slams the lid down and lowers the temperature. The lid buckles as the water pushes it up and slops over the sides. Ryan holds the lid with all his might until the pressure dies down. After about 5 minutes, he lifts the lid to look inside and is scorched by escaping steam. He then turns off the oven and removes the pot to let it cool off. Some time later, he takes the lid off and pours the contents into a large bowl. When grabbing it, he realizes that the liquid is quite hot and that it has made the bowl quite hot as well. After thoroughly dousing his hands in ice water, Ryan takes the bowl downstairs and hopes that it tastes good, because he’s gonna be eating 4 bowls of it.
Quite the adventure, no? Well, that’s all I really wanted to say for today, so I’ll do a real update later this week. ~Ryan out.
