Pearl Barley

"Honey, my feet is killing me!" "Feet don't fail me now". She played Dolly Levi in 1967's all black cast of Hello Dolly. No, no, no, not Pearl Bailey, I said Pearl Barley!

Do you know that one bag of Pearl Barley doubles, even triples into an enormous amount of barley! I couldn't believe it. I almost gagged as I watched my wonderful little barley soup disappear into an ever-growing mass of barley. No wonder why cows are fat!

In any event, when making Beef Barley Soup or any barley soup, you might consider reducing the amount of barley by 2/3.

Just a thought!

P.S. You can Google Pearl Bailey Hello Dolly and find some wonderful clips of Pearl singing songs from the show on You Tube.
