Today, for lunch, I had Campbell’s Chunky soup, with sirloin burger and country vegetables – and brown rice. Anyone looking though my kitchen cabinets will find many more cans of this same soup – it’s something of a staple for me. Today, however, I was surprised by what I discovered.<\/p>\n

In the middle of a bite, I bit down on something that I couldn’t immediately identify. Which is odd all by itself since I’m deeply familier with this soup and rice combo. It “felt” like I was biting into a piece of wood. <\/p>\n

I spit it out and it sure looked like a small piece of wood on closer examination. It had grains and the texture and hardness were along the lines of wood – though there was a small hook-like protrusion on one side. Since I can’t imagine how wood would enter into the soup making process (except maybe a wooden crate with vegetables in it – though I would hope they have a filter for that sort of thing) – I studied it a little more carefully and decided it must have been the solid core of a carrot. It was the only vegetable that might have produced this unique shape – though the hardness was unusual.<\/p>\n

I check the rest of the soup and discovered no other weird items. Still, it was damn odd and I’m going to see if I can get a picture. <\/p>\n

That’s it for this update – though I will say that holiday shopping today wasn’t as bad as I feared. With the exception of Best Buy – it was worse than I expected. <\/p>\n

Later…<\/p>\n
