What doesn't say breakfast like Coke and Hearty Vegetable soup?
Back in e-ville. A day later than originally planed but im back. Back with high speed non-dial up internet and very little responsibility so i can be on the internet alot posting to my, and hopefully your, hearts content. So todays topic, good question, i beleive i am going to tell a story from a couple months ago that i found ironic, i may have accually posted this story (i was going to but i think i never got around to it but then again i might have), but i figure that if doug can just copy and paste a psot then why cant I at least tell a story more than once. and im going to elaborate on the story as well.
The story starts out at a neighbourhood Tim Hortons, there, along with my team, I enjoy a soup and sandwich combo for a meal. the soup im eating, hearty vegetable. I know i know, it sounds gross (not large, discusting) and healthy but i enjoyed it and would get it whenever i went to TH. so after a while whenever i went to TH they would never have it. This went of for a good year before i finally saw it. (rabbit trail 1: also a while ago TH went from the fountain pop to the bottled and canned pop. this has advantages and disadvantages but overall i thought it was a bad thing at the time). So im at this TH and there i see the soup, im like finnally, but the annoying part, i had just had a bunch of cake and stuff and did not feel at all like eating soup. so im like arrrrg. but i was really craving a can of coke, yes a can, cans and fountain pop are very different. so i go and order the can of coke and to my suprise and dismay, they only have fountain pop. So when i want soup, they dont have my flavour, when i dont, they do. When i want fountain pop, they have cans and bottles, when i want a can or a bottle, they have fountain pop. AAAARRRRRRGGGG!
So what does this dismal story have to do with now? well on the way back from DC, the drive stoped at TH for coffee. So i go in wanting a bottle of coke (it was like 830 in the morning and i had got up at 6 after going to bed at like 130. So i go in and low and behold, hearty vegetable soup. i think to myself, self, you didnt really finish breakfast and you might get hungary so y not get some of the holy grail-esk soup. So that is what i did, and i checked to see and they had bottles of coke so i was really happy. The only downside is that the hearty vegetable soup wasnt near as good as i remember, so now i have to find it again and see if its any better.
So that is my story of the day, and id like to point out that there are few things in life as exciting and pleasing as the first sip of strong coke (or pepsi for you pepsi people, i dont discriminate, they both have a time and a place) in the morning. mmmmmmmmm.

Interesting to actually find out what's going on in your head when you bought that soup. I was kind of wondering what brought on the idea of having soup for breakfast. Not that it's a bad thing. If I go work for the kitchen at camp again this summer I'll bring you back a few bags of vegetable soup to enjoy to your heart's content. Personally, I prefer the tortellini and chicken noodle, and the chicken gumbo. Ahh, free soup, how I miss those days.
