Dinner and The News

My mom made Mushroom Barley Soup for dinner tonight, and she's been talking about it for days in anticipation. It sounded okay to me when she described it before, and I liked it fine, I guess. As she was putting it away, she exclaimed, "Wow! That was just so good!"
I responded, without any intended sarcasm, "Well I am glad that you liked it so much, it tasted really...fresh..."

This evening I also came across several interesting news items:

A sad one- "What are you doing here?" man asks wife at brothel

And a weird, darkly funny one- A corpse, a check, a bizarre NYC crime
