7-year old wisdom

“I’m practicing being somebody. Because you can be a somebody or just someone. You know, someone who is just passing by.” – Nicholas

Funny how the subtlety of language – somebody versus someone – resonates at an early age. Then, I wonder what he meant by the last part.

First rule in sales – smile!

The boy scouts are set up at various retail outlets around town today.

Stop by and lend support if you can.

 

 

I think mom spent more time on the sign than the kids are scheduled to sell.

Moms can be like that.

Good Job on the Pie NY!

Keeping with our theme of patronizing local restaurants when we can. Here is a picture of a large 1/2 pepperoni 1/2 sausage from my favorite nearby pizza place, New York Pizza at Broadway and Camino Seco. Quality is usually quite consistent and price is reasonable.  Nice job NY.

Is Campbell’s Cream of Onion Soup Back?

A few years back, we discovered that could no longer find this soup. My wife contacted the Campbell Soup Company who informed her that “due to changing consumer tastes” this particular variety was discontinued. We had a problem since this was the base ingredient for one of our favorite dishes, enchilada pie. Then, yesterday she came back from the store with a bag full of cans of cream of onion soup. My wife said she bought all they had because she didn’t know if it was some sort of fluke. I hope it’s back to stay. My rough attempt at the recipe for enchilada pie (apologies to my friend Stan Strom) is under the recipes page menu on my site.
