My adventures in cooking: Monday October 14th

Good afternoon myLotter's! I have nobody to tell but today i decided since the temperature is going up and down between 49 and 50 degrees and it is cold outside I was going to have soup. My cans of chicken noodle soup were over two years old. It said on the can to use it by the recommended date. I was not taking chances with chicken and potentially getting food poisoning. I found a can of Healthy Choice tomato soup that I would have had until January 2025 until the recommended day it goes bad. I opened the can with the can opener without my peer's help. I added the soup to the pan and added a can of water. I turned on the stove all by myself WITHOUT ANYBODY IN THE HOUSE WITH ME! My peer gave me the rule of never putting the heat up on the stove above number 6 unless I am boiling water. I used to make canned soup years and years ago, But it was never good as it was not hot because the can said heat but "do not boil" in bold print. i used to be petrified that something bad would happen to the soup on the burner. Today, I was calmer as I was praying to God for help and I put the knob on number 5 and constantly stirred. After every 30-40 seconds i tested it to see if it was still lukewarm. It took a while and then i had to turn up the heat to number 6 and then i could tell it was going to boil so i shut the heat off. Then i tasted the soup and it was very warm. Then the good news is my crackers were fresh even though they had an expiration date that was in April of this year. I had that for lunch and it was a tasty meal to soothe me when it was so cold today what did you cook today?
