"Stone Soup"-as read by Captain Kangaroo-changed my life!–been cooking and eating for friends and neighbors ever since!! When my daughter was young her best friend and her carefully gathered the stones from a creek in Santa Cruz Ca to make it while i was babysitting at her friends house one weekend–they LOVED IT–but since we didn’t have time to cook it longer enough for the stones to get soft–[:D]–qabbie–her friend–hung them in a web bag in the kitchen–we used them several more times over the next year or so-never did get sofy![:I] Just a couplke of years ago we reconnected with Abies folks–her mom told me they saved those stones in the kitchen for about ten years and they finnally found a place of honer in their garden![:D]

Come to think of it the main ingredients here never got tender either. They’re probably still around the house someplace.[:D]
