Only I can spend hours making mushroom barley soup and FORGET TO ADD THE STUPID MUSHROOMS.

No wonder it wasn't tasting right....

So, basically it's barley in water? ::grin:: Okay, probably broth of some kind.

lots of other veggies- carrots, onions and celery and whatnot and I kept wondering, adding more salt, pepper, etc wondering why the heck it tasted off

*Sniggers* at least you remembered in the end, right?

well the fact they were sitting RIGHT THERE ON THE STUPID COUNTER helped a bit. *deep breath*

Ooh, what a great soup choice for a bitterly cold day though! And the barley shouldn't suffer much from cooking longer when you add the mushrooms. Mmmm.

It should work. The stew part simmers for awhile before adding the barley and mushrooms so having the barley in for a while by itself shouldn't be a big deal. But still... grrrr, I kept tasting and wondering why it was off

::pets you::

Our brains do things like that because they have much more important matters to be occupied with. :)

like playing solitaire when we're supposed to be writing?

Hee. Well, yes. Writing fic while our students are interviewing each other ::cough::, whatever. :)

I see nothing wrong with your scenario

That's the sort of thing I do!
I'm very glad I'm not alone.

Yay! It's not just me!

I'd probably prefer it that way. I hate the stupid fungus things. *g*

I put my barley in turkey soup, one of only three things where I add salt generously: turkey soup, scrambled eggs, and gravy.

I try not to oversalt things, but I do like the flavor!

You can have mine. Really. :)

(and I undersalt (how come that doesn't sound like a word, but 'oversalt' does?) everything else, especially as I'm on a restricted sodium intake. But some dishes *have* to have salt in them.)

oh, if low sodium is needed then it's important to stay healthy and keep it low.

fry them up and add them anyway!

*laughs*

I added them and just let it simmer longer. Hopefully it'll still work

Oh dear! I could easily see myself doing that. :)

They got added in with enough time to hopefully all work, but I haven't tried it yet

Awww, honey.
