soup row

[Digggers]

a petty row that's over now, but interested on what the consensus is

me, dh and ds have half an hour to eat lunch and get out the house. I have made a pot of soup that's on the hob. I pour a bowl for me and ds, and take it through to the dining room, leaving DH's in the pan and the gas on low to keep it hot. DS is in the kitchen making a sandwhich, still so I tell him that his soup's still in the pan, point at it and that I'm going to go and eat with ds and then get him ready to go.

I return to the kitchen briefly to put mine and ds's bowls in dishwasher and then get us both ready to go. DH is in the kitchen the whole time, eating and clearing up. We get in the car and drive 20 miles, and I ask him if he remebered to turn the soup off when he got his out, because i remeber I didn't check the cooker like I normally do? He then tells me that he didn't eat any soup, didn't want any and no he didn't turn it off because he didn't go near the pan.

We then have to turn car around, come home and turn the gas off, therefore missing appointment. Apparently my fault as I left the gas on, he didn't realise the gas was on, just didn't want the soup. I think it's his as he didn't tell me that he wasn't going to eat his soup. I wouldn't have left the gas on if I'd known he didn't want it.

AIBU?

So, carrot and lentil soup. Might it be presumptious to ask what the appointment was for? The one you were rushing to make.

I thought this was 'soup row' as in 'death row'.

Heh. For crimes against culinary perfection, I condemn thee to Soup Row.

Cheese soup without the cheese - soften some carrot, onion and bacon (all chopped small) in some butter. Stir in some flour and gradually add a pint of chicken or veg stock with a humungous dash of worcestershire sauce and a wallop of mustard. Simmer for twenty minutes and then I don't add a large lump of grated cheese as OH is intolerant to cheese.

Untested from cookbook of medieval recipes - Bare Bones soup - Soak half a piece of country bread in water, squeeze, puree and mix in 1 beaten egg, one half tsp vinegar, half tsp lemon juice, pinch of ginger, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of cloves. Then gently fry 2tbs of finely chopped fresh parsley in 2tbs of butter and add some water. Bring to boil and add bread mixture, then bring back to the boil briefly.

Do not trust OH to have any clue about any process whatsoever in kitchen including that making soup and keeping it warm may involve gas.

My spawns might like your cheeseless soup wannabe

I may acquire carrots later. We already have everything else in.

Any more recipes?

you couldn't make it up ....

but OP i hope you have gathered some perspective, and glad you gave a few of us a little bit of a laugh. perhaps you should share this thread with your husband, perhaps he will see the funny side of it.

my husband loves mumsnet. whenever we quarrel i start a thread (usually under a different name, serial name changer ahoy) and am usually told he's right! I really like mumsnet, but i'm usually completely contrary to most of the views on here. i must either be very cool/un mumsy/ avant garde or a bit mental/ stupid/ annoying. ;-)

i still think that if you mage someone soup, the knew you made them soup, they watched you make them soup, you pointed out the soup, and said "there's your soup" then they should eat the soup or atleast say "no thank you i don't want soup". Preferably before you've made the sodding soup. or left the sodding house.

SOUP!

well it wasn't my best i'll admit, but it was perfectly edible, normal usual soup

although it didn't have any meat or cheese in it. this is maybe the initial error

Well if you would have made the soup anyway I can´t see that it matters that much that he didn´t want it.
