Mock Turtle Soup

The title is misleading. There isn’t even a hint of turtle in this soup, but it's good. Melt margarine in large kettle. Add onions, celery and carrots. Sauté until tender, but not browned. Add diced beef and flour, stirring to mix well. Add stock and milk, stirring as it thickens. Simmer 20 minutes. Add chopped eggs, salt and pepper just before serving.

Oh, the ‘I-ron-i-city’ of it!

My friend Sharon McDonald used to delight in telling of a former pastor of Maynardville Baptist Church who was scandalized by the increasing trend for people to wear less clothing on television and in public. He would occasionally exclaim from the pulpit, “Oh, the nu-did-i-ty of it!”
Another element of our society that many times goes unappreciated is irony. Irony is defined by Webster’s New World Dictionary as “a way of being amusing or sarcastic by saying exactly the opposite of what one means” or “an event or a result that is the opposite of what might be expected.”
