Marjorie’s picture has been deleted at her request…suffice it
to say she looked sceptical
AN ATROCIOUS LUNCH — MOUNTAIN OF FRENCH FRIES
Marjorie got our car out of a skippery mud hole at the Vogel auction. Not easy. So she was rewarded with a fancy
lunch at a country dining place at an atrocious cost including the demanded tip of 20%. I did not feel good about
it…especially the huge pile French Fried potatoes…..far more than we cold eat….then I got a great idea!
“Marjorie, let’s get the waitress to box up these French Fries.”
“Why? Whoever eats cold French Fries! “
“We are going to make these greasy potatoes and the goo with them into a pot of Potatoes Soup…G>P>S>..Good Potato Soup!”
“You have never cooked anything since we were married….60 years.”
“True. You gave explicit orders …’Alan, stay out of the kitchen;””…I will break the command tomorrow. For You..good potato soup”
RECIPE FOR GOOD POTATO SOUP
-A PILE OF COLD FRENCH FRIES
-3 CUPS WATER
-1 PACKAGE DRY SOUP MX (ANY KIND)
-SMALL GLASS OF MILK
-DASHES OF SEA SALT, WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE, ONION POWDER…STUFF LIKE THAT
-ANY OTHER LEFT OVERS…I.e. meat ball was found under the French Fries
DUMP IN POT
HEAT AT MODERATE
MASH THE STUFF INTO MUSH WITH A POTATO MASHER
(Cold French Fries may resist so be brutal with masher)
SERVE
THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT…ANY FOOL CAN MAKE GOOD POTATO SOUP!

P>S> We did each consume a big bowl of the mush. Seemed to tase good
although I went overboard with the sea salt. Marjorie said it was good.
By nightfall we were not too sure. Marjorie bought a bottle of TUMS FOR THE TUMMY…
needed for two days along with a chemical that speeds up movement of
food from stomach to intestine and out. (called meta mucil. sp?}
“Alan, Stay out of the kitchen for the next 50 years.”
