One Heart Dancing Cooks Dinner

Let's say it's 8:30 p.m., and you are in your sweats, and you have cilantro, jalapeno-garlic olives and V-8 juice in the fridge. And you're hungry. And there is no tango tonight.

Pour V-8 juice in a small saucepan. Now it is soup. While it heats, munch olives and whole cloves of garlic. Do not munch too many cloves of garlic, or the smell will come through your skin the next day, just like the Old Garlic Lady who spoke little English and always sat in your pew in church when you were a kid and you fought with all of your sisters not sit next to her even though had you but known it she was probably Italian or Eastern European and the most interesting person there despite her scent, and you will not have many dances.

When the soup is not too hot, search the cupboard for those little packets of coffee cream you have filched from Denny's and McDonald's and the coffee bar in the apartment's clubhouse, being sure that you have only filched genuine half & half and not Cremora, also not the Irish Creme or Amaretto or Hazlenut (why don't they call it Frangelica?) or chocolate flavored fake creamers, but just the pure half & half which has probably been irradiated so as to stay fresh without refrigeration, and pour three of those into a cup, add the soup and stir.

This is direct quote from Two-of-Six, who rarely reads my blog and NEVER cooks:

That is so disgusting!

You can also take the same V-8 juice, heat it up with top ramen noodles. Will need to stur it every so often so as not to burn or over cook the V-8 sauce.

Continue to munch on olives and garlic.
