The weather's (eventually, maybe) getting colder, and it's time for Fat Choad to shift into Hearty Choad. Is there a difference? Physically, no. Mentally, still no. I'm just more open to soup.

My grandparents used to harvest wild rice. They'd load up into a canoe and, while grandpa steered, grandma had the big stick to wack the rice into the canoe. I'm thinking that this was therapeutic for her, and safe for Grandpa.

Homemade chicken wild rice soup (like any really good homemade soup) takes a while to make. So where can I get THEE BEST chicken wild rice soup? To the listeners, Batman!
