But it is about something more grim: the struggle of the three million common men who gave their lives, limbs, and sanity for their causes.

And we are going to taste this later, for now we are going to figure out how to finish off our soup. We are going to dive into some chicken soup here, and we skipped a few steps as I serve it, Carol is going to describe what we had to do. WELL WE PUT THE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES ON THE STOVE AND BOILED THEM FOR 45MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THEN I PUT THE STOCK AND EVERYTHING IN IT IN THE REFRIDGERATOR AND LET IT COOL IN THE STOCK WHICH MAKES IT A NICER RICHER STOCK. AFTER THAT I STRAINED OUT ALL THE VEGETABLES AND ADDED NEW VEGETABLES...ONION, CARROTS, THE PIECES OF MEAT THAT CAME FROM THE CHICKEN IN THE STOCK, THE ONION...ISN'T IT GOOD yeah! CHICKEN SOUP IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL, ANDREW yes it is mysoul feels better already! and the souls to my feet feel better too because this is so good it is going all the way through me. and as I dive into the salad from earlier, tell us about the seven ways for seven days.
