If this post doesn't illustrate the importance
of labels, then I don't know what does. In my annual spring effort of emptying out
foods in the freezer, today I decided to have what appeared to be split pea
soup for lunch. When I cooked during the winter, I froze soups, stews, and
various meals in single-serve containers to make future meals easy for myself.
It's rainy and gloomy today, with a slight chill in the air, so I thawed pea
soup, put it into a small saucepan, and heated it up. When I tasted it, I
realized that it was not pea soup at all. In fact, I honestly had no clue as to
what kind it was. It was tasty, but was not leek soup, or asparagus soup,
or spinach soup, or pea. The jury is still out as to whether or not it was
zucchini soup. Whatever it was, it was very good, but this is certainly going
to be a lesson for me in the future to be sure to label all of my containers!
