Soup: Fortified with Iron
Is this what “I can’t afford to fix my stove” looks like?
Clearly an AI photo, and at first I thought “Well, of course only AI would be dumb enough to do this.”, but then I remembered I grew up in Florida and realized civilization was a mistake.
Oh gawd I fell for it. It’s the right amount of blurry that was common on the early internet so I didn’t question the hazy details.
This physically hurts to look at
I wish you the most wonderful day and pleasant night.
Somehow this isn’t as bad
Safety first, the chair is protected by a seatbelt!
This has a vibe to it
Modern problems require modern solutions
Modern problems require homeless solutions
After that we’ll flip some burgers on this thang
sick. I bet it leaves nice grill marks.
WHY ARE YOU IRONING CLOTHES WITH THE SOUP STOVE?
I used to heat pizza slices and make grilled cheese sandwiches with a hot iron when I was mostly homeless or squatting back in the ‘90s. One could get bags full of pizza slices from New York Pizza (in Amsterdam) after closing time out of the waste container.
Actually that is a little cool. I mean not that you had to do that, but it was creative.

I’m making it with pine cones and fallen leaves, I’ve been reading frugality blogs.
You could add the mushrooms you find in the woods. :) And don’t forget the Pine Needle Tea.
Reading these comments through makes me think that this wasn’t a common thing people did… You can cook food on it as well. It is good for reheating sandwiches so they don’t taste like microwave. Aluminum foil keeps your clothes from getting food stains. You can use plain white paper as well but it’s not as good at grease stopping and is an insulator.
Does an iron put out enough heat? I’m legit curious.
You can do ironed cheese sandwiches,* so they get plenty hot, but most modern irons will turn themselves off if they’re not moving for more than a minute.
*Assemble the sandwich on top of a generous piece of aluminum foil, heavy duty if you have it: butter on the outside, cheese on the inside, sourdough with cheddar is excellent but white bread with American is what the kids expect. (Don’t get too creative with additions until you have a good sense of how long to melt the middle without burning the outside.) Bring up two foil edges and fold that seam at least twice, making it flat as possible against the sandwich and able to channel any escaping butter towards the ends rather than just seeping down onto the ironing board. Then fold the ends as well. Maybe you better put a second piece of foil on your ironing board just in case. Put the iron on top heat but turn off the steam. Iron the sandwich on both sides, starting with the seam side and then doing the bottom, until it smells toasty and delicious. Only move the iron enough to hit all the corners and also keep it from turning off, and don’t press hard.
many do on the highest settings that is how they can make steam, It takes a while
Probably, it’s probably quite inefficient though.
Name a bigger fire hazard

This is honestly modern genius.
