A Story
Adventure
Mary had discussed at length her possible adventure with her friends. It was all a bit confusing.
"We'll describe it as though it was the weather," said her friends.
"Lots of sunny days. Balmy and warm," Gloria smiled dreamily.
"Oh, the hurricane was terrible! I was buffeted from all sides," quavered Cheryl.
"The rain just soaked down in dreary misery, day after day," sighed Donna.
"The breeze was so fresh and energizing. I've never felt so alive," enthused Moira.
"But how would I experience it?" Mary worried.
Only one way to find out.
Nine months later everything changed.
Barley Carrot Soup
This is a vegetable soup but you could add meat to it if you wanted.
Saute 1 chopped onion in oil or butter
Add 1 1/2 cups rinsed barley. Cover with 2" of liquid, either broth or water.
Add 1 1/2 cup coarsely chopped carrot
Add 1/2 cup chopped celery
Add 1 tbsp chopped parsley, dried or 3 tbsp fresh
Season with black pepper and salt.
Simmer for about 30 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup chopped green or yellow beans - frozen work well.
Simmer another 5 min. or so.
Serve with some parsley garnish.
