to lie about tinned soup?

I am quite a foodie. DH really appreciates this. Last night I fed him a tin of Baxter's tinned 'winter vegetable' soup. He paid me great compliments. I have just bought a can of soup at the garage that cost £1.19 (much more than Tesco) and he can have that tonight. He can have that tonight. Should I stop taking the credit at some point? I know it is a lie, but I am thinking about all the free time I could have.

Tonight is, 'Baxter's favourites Minestrone'.

Doesn't say add anything.

I think the years spent building my reputation as a foody may be putting me in god stead.

  1. Spaghetti bolognese (loaded with garlic)
2) He will be more tired than me. 3) I wouldn't eat soup unless it was made by me or I was very very hungry. It is cheaper to make it. I have a small freezer, but this thread has made me inclined to freeze more soup.

The phrase, 'feeding him soup' implies it is lovingly laboured over.

I think I fed him condensed soup. I think that my homemade soups are very thick so I can see that he might not have seen that.

Or that you've got him tied up somewhere and he can't use his hands.

Are you from Baxter's or something? You've only mentioned the name three times or so in this thread. Grin

FWIW, I don't care. I like this thread. The simplicity of it all- will he guess if it's tinned? I must know!

Do keep us updated. Perhaps tomorrow it will be Baxter's lentil.

Baxters. The king of tinned soup. Ask for us by name.

Baxters.

scottishmummy · 28/10/2010 22:02

kinda catchy.shamlessly hope they send me soup

We always liked Baxters spicy parsnip (ie my husband and I, not the royal we). Since moving away from the UK to the Republic of Ireland I can't find it, is it still available? I love Baxters tomato relish on my baked potato, and hope they will send me a case of it...Smile We have an occasional can of soup for lunch though, not dinner.

scottishmummy · 28/10/2010 22:10

when lived abroad i shopped on those pricey ex-pat sites for Baxter or got relies to stockpile

shamless plea to baxters- send me soup and condiments

And to think I was offended when DH thought my homemade shortbread was shop bought today.

Mowiol · 28/10/2010 22:14
