Dee's Lessons for Life - #3: How to eat soup without a spoon.

1. Find alternative piece of cutlery. I recommend a fork, but I understand a knife adds that bit of danger for those extreme types.
   
2. Make soup. I use cup-a-soup because that way if all else fails I can just drink it. Yes, I'm a wuss.
   
3. Procure bread. If this requires a trip of more than a few metres, you might want to move this step to number 1. The type of bread is, of course, entirely your choice. We are a pro-choice organisation, after all.
   
4. Right, now this is where it gets tricky, so pay attention.
   
5. Peel the crusts off the bread and eat or discard to preference.
   
6. Break bread into small bite-sized chunks (about 1 inch square or so, for you pedants).
   
7. Drop bread gleefully into soup. Yes, you must do it gleefully.
   
8. When bread has reached saturation point, use your cutlery item of choice to lever it out of the soup and into your mouth.
   
9. Wipe up the bits you spilt.
   
10. Alternatively, realise that you're going to do this with every mouthful, and live with the spills.
    
11. Use more bread as required.
