Today's specialty: Cooked Aphid Soup and a case of Ades

Cooked Aphid Soup

With gusto, Toy fixed a soup after arriving home.  Broccoli was the main ingredient.  Delicious of course!  As we ate away, Andrew calmly says, "There are aphids in the soup!" Why, impossible!  This soup is delicious!  As we continued to eat and now observe more closely, we realized that all the little dark flakes that we thought were pepper or some other spice were actually aphids.  Not just some of them but, yes, all of the specks.  The whole aphid family was right there in our bowls of soup.  Protein packed.  But we put it away, aphids and all.   Then we washed the whole meal down with a box of Ades.  Simply delicious!  Kind of reminds me of the missionary joke . . .

Ades Orange Juice

Ades was one of our favorite drinks while we lived here in Argentina.  Unfortunately it has lost status on our list of favorites now that we understand the ingredient list.  It is soy based, orange juice "flavored" (6.56%) and sugar-packed ;(
