:: I'm off work this week, taking some holiday time. The weather has been cold, snowy and dull. I want to clean up my house, a task of major proportions at best. I started cleaning one room last night, so can report some progress. I've worked out in the morning the last two days, and it's been a major struggle to get the body to accept this change, even for a few days. Normally I exercise after work. I don't know how the morning people do it.
:: Derryl sent along this gem: examples of some of the worst album covers of all time.
:: You might think it odd to get upset over soup, but...Safeway sells hot soup every day, two varieties. All the soups sold are made by Campbell's. My favorite is Italian-Style Wedding soup. I had never heard of it until Safeway started selling it in their deli. I haven't been able to find it lately, so I spoke to someone there, who told me that a "new soup program" is imminent, so the other choices have been removed, permanently. The manager of my local store verified this, saying that it's happening in all Safeway stores in Canada and the USA.
Italian-Style Wedding soup was one of Safeway's most popular hot soups; the deli worker with whom I spoke confirmed this, noting that other customers have expressed their dismay as well. Why mess with success? It's a decision made by suits in an office in a Big City somewhere far from here. Idiots.
:: If you are interested in the recent solar flare activity, check out the SOHO site: Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. There are some great pics and mpegs of what the sun has been doing (blasting the Earth with ionizing radiation as a result of exploding superflares.) Here in the Great White North, we've been missing the spectacular aurora activity because it's been cloudy for days.

Also, East Side Marios has some great wedding soup. It's awesome.

Posted by: jenB at November 5, 2003 03:36 PMKelly, if you can find a store selling the Italian-style Wedding soup, please let me know. The Safeway on 23rd Avenue and 109th Street, where I bought it before at the deli, doesn't carry it. Jen, yer kidding me! ETLC Mr Sub was selling this soup? I'm stunned. Thanks guys!
