I have two, count them, two pots of soup on the stove right now.

[KitchenWitch]

One is a 13 bean and ham soup, the other is split pea with ham. Both are using the ham bones from Xmas dinner.

:9

Both soups will be enough for one meal and two frozen portions each.

Soup is teh awesome.

5. Awesome. I'm getting ready to make some veggie chili in the crock- pot...

...Oh-My-God!!! Can we talk irony. I just said "Chili", i.e. Childress, and "crock" ,in the same sentence....

[KitchenWitch]

9. Childress and crock do indeed belong in the same sentence.

Today, in the Viking Club drawing, I won an original copy of Life Magazine dated November 1961. Here is a picture.

[Robeson]

16. Awesome....

...I'm jealous...:(

...some day, I need to post some picks my uncle gave me. He was one of the equipment managers for the Bucs, from their inception. His job was to facilitate the visiting team when they came to town. I've got some awesome original shots of the Purple People Eaters on the sidelines, Tark, Foreman, etc., in some very candid shots in the last years of their heyday.

8. Double, double toil and trouble;

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,—
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf

21. Thirteen bean & ham soup? Sounds explosive!!!

I've made a potato & cauliflower soup, and a vat of green beans & red potatoes so far this week. A pot of split pea ham is on tomorrow's menu.

[KitchenWitch]

23. But it is sooooooooo good!

[MountainLaurel]

24. Have you been hanging out with my spouse

Every week for the last month he's made large portions of something. We've got chili, split pea with ham, carrot lentil with ham, Hungarian sauerkraut, minestrone, and a couple others.

[KitchenWitch]

27. LOL

I am due to make a huge pot of chili soon, too. Later this week I suppose.

Except for the bean "side effects". Methinks LA has
had enough methane!
