I don't know, the crouton soaking in the broth is a crucial part of my French onion soup experience. I can't imagine a dumpling satisfying that.
Although as a separate item and not a thing to eat when I really want French onion soup, that does sound delicious.
Mmm, soup. I don't think I have time for soup until Friday. Dumplings are, no doubt, longer off than that.

Now I want French Onion Soup!
I am wondering- in places other than Universities/Colleges, do departments charge other departments for things? That is, where I work, if someone who is not in my department wants to use our conference room, they have to pay us through an interdepartmental transfer of money. We do this so that we can pay the university for our space. This seems like more work than it is worth, and I wondered if for-profit places did things like this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was going to say, we do it here! But I also work for an institutional nonprofit. I had to pay the design department to put some logos on a piece of paper.

I exercised this morning, and then walked the little-less-than-a-mile to the train to get to work (two armed, bullet proof vest wearing transit police on the platform, post Boston). Then you all posted about food and I ate the main course of my lunch. Oops.

Yes. There are legal reasons behind it, but it's still kind of dumb.

What is really dumb here is that we try to save money on those things. So we have a design department to put logos on a piece of paper, and they would charge us. But I can put logos on a piece of paper, so I don't use them! Or, we have a training department for computer classes, but they charge more than an outside vendor, so we use the outside vendor, which is stupid because then the university is losing that money. Drives me nutty!

I wish I hadn't used them, in that case!

I do so in my NGO (non-governmental organization). We have a number of different project contracts, and I charge my time among several of them and to "overhead". Each project needs a little bit of website or eLearning support, but none of them need or can afford an employee dedicated to those roles. So they each get a bit of me. It keeps things interesting.
