I always keep multiple cans of chicken soup on hand for times of illness. This season has been dreadful for me and Mr. Trisham, and that soup came in handy. Fortunately, Mr. T is a trouper, and will manage to cook soup and chowder unless he is hospitalized. Let me tell you, shingles, bronchitis, the flu and chickenpox are no picnic.
And speaking of picnics.. :)
