I remember being at the burtons once and she was making rice and after she put the rice in and the water was hot she got a spoon and scooped all the worms that had floated to the top. Still grosses me out to think of it. I think barley soup might make you a bit queasy for a while!Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222505107451912209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-6257762766544103612008-07-20T14:37:00.000-04:002008-07-20T14:37:00.000-04:00I suppose I am fickle in my icky-ness ignoring. I...I suppose I am fickle in my icky-ness ignoring. I don't think I could bring myself to eat that soup with the whole worms in it. However, I <I>do</I> make applesauce out of extremely worm-ridden apples. I will even cut up an apple, see a worm in it, and throw it in the pot because, hey, it all gets ground up and strained, so if there is anything nasty enough to be noticeable, it will come out with the peels and seeds. It's actually some of the most delicious applesauce I've ever had. My sister (who made it with me) and I joke about making lables for it that say "high-protein" or "iron-fortified" somewhere.<BR/>But eat them while they still look like worms? yeah, I don't think I could do that.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798756205391129473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-56023182067674741372008-07-19T23:35:00.000-04:002008-07-19T23:35:00.000-04:00I've had it happen more than once. Nothing says "G...I've had it happen more than once. Nothing says "Good morning!" quite little worms floating in your bowl of cereal. <BR/><BR/>They do float if you catch them before they boil, so you can either scoop them out and not tell anyone or (my preference) make something different.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049138813340800745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-75496747348409884142008-07-19T10:05:00.000-04:002008-07-19T10:05:00.000-04:00Once when I was a teen-ager, there was someone I h...Once when I was a teen-ager, there was someone I had thought ill of so I decided I needed to serve them. I made some banana bread to take them. I realized as I added the flour that I had weevil in the flour. I was tempted to throw the whole concoction out but I knew the weevil would not hurt them and because they did not know it was there, it would not impair their enjoyment of the bread either so I went ahead and gave them the protein enriched banana bread.<BR/><BR/>Get us the recipe of the soup--minus the worms.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152419247914244251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4679631342517586283.post-57130854780001070732008-07-18T16:43:00.000-04:002008-07-18T16:43:00.000-04:00mmm I love barley soup.But I'm not going to eat th...mmm I love barley soup.<BR/><BR/>But I'm not going to eat that particular batch when I come in August....<BR/><BR/>Somebody should complain to the barley vendor!
