What kind of soup is it, ita? Does the thickness really matter to you?
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Arrowroot is my go to corn starch substitute. I haven't tried it, but maybe konjac flour would work? [link] I don't know about glycemic indexes, would potato starch or rice flour or tapioca be improvements over corn starch? Or, shoot, what do you call that stuff, basically ground beans. Can't think of the name.

What about extra beans or veggies cooked down and puréed?

Tambourine was a hit, literally. Lots of people 4.2 miles from the end like to hit tambourines!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's a cream of mushroom soup so the thickness is a lot of the texture fun. I think tapioca is out, but a bean product might be good. Rice derivative is only good, I think, if brown?
Konjac would be perfect! Just a matter of finding it.

Caring even a little bit about what I'm wearing on the weekend is throwing me for a loop. Getting dressed is hard.
Eta: settled on an acceptable combination of jeans and a t-shirt. Whew!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was just coming to post that it's kind of sad to catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror on the way out the door and realize that you aren't even dressed well enough for a 9:00 Saturday morning trip to Target.
I went anyway, since I am an adult and we get to do that, but still

I maintain an aggressively fuck-it-I-don't-care attitude about what I wear to grocery shop. Sweats and crocs are fine! That's right, I have given up, deal with it world.
I'm hanging out with Mom today, though, which requires slightly more effort, apparently.

Because books.
I have gone to the grocery store braless, no makeup, wearing a ball cap over unwashed hair. Do I win?

I have only done McD's drive thru braless.
