Sipping Once, Sipping Twice, Sipping Chicken Soup With Rice!

[Recite with sarcasm:]
In August it will be so hot,
I will become a cooking pot.
Cooking soup, of course.
Why not?
Cooking once, cooking twice,
Cooking chicken soup with rice.
--Maurice Sendak

It's barely 60°.  It is August 10.  Last night, I cooked chicken soup with rice.  Today, I am reheating leftovers.  Can you believe it?  It seems almost unreal.  God cracks me up.  Happy summer, all!
