Spending a Sunday reading the paper (Best Buy and Circuit City ads mainly), watching bad TV movies, and catching the world’s strongest man contest on TV is something that I rarely afford myself the luxury of. I need an excuse to do something like that. Today, I found my excuse in the kitchen. I, unfortunately, had to help to cook a large pot of chicken soup, leaving very, very little time for constructive endeavors. Alright, alright, I admit that it was a piss poor excuse, as well as a great reward for doing nothing but being me.

1. Boil the chicken in a pot for 20 minutes a pound.
2. Pull out chicken, de-bone, and throw all available meat and skin back in (if you wait too long, it will fall apart as your taking it out).
3. Cut up an onion, six carrots, and some celery, and throw it in.
4. Boil it more, and add more parsley flakes than you think you should.
5. Add more salt than you think you should.
6. Add 2 TBsps of sugar. (Yup. Sugar. Check your Lipton package. They use a ton of it.)
7. You have chicken soup without adding any chemicals, MSG, or partially hydrogenated crap that Lipton throws in.
8. Eat for a week.
