Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Absolutely, Jilli. I often have nachos for dinner, which are less healthsome.

Whooo, validation! Now to get up the motivation to go make it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm not sure I've made soup from scratch, but wouldn't cornstarch or another starch (tapioca, arrowroot) work in flour's place?

If you put little potatoes in at the beginning they'll cook down to starchy thickener without the need of the other options.

Low-fat refried beans, guacamole, salsa, and chips are totally a valid dinner choice, right?

I think you got protein, vegetables and carbs in there. It's a winner!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Dinner. What a novel idea. I should get on that. After I dropped CJ off at training, I met K-Bug at a brewery and had a drink. Or actually half a drink. I kinda forgot about lunch also. Ooops.

I just saw the most ridiculous Miracle Whip commercial riffing on The Scarlett Letter.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Dinner. I forgot. Too late now. Not hungry anyway. I support the guacamole lobby though.

I wish I had had that for dinner! I really need to buy avocadoes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think if you're thickening with any kind of starch, you're making stew, not soup.

I had sweret potato quesadillas for dinner. They were pretty awesome.

You guys, you know what else is awesome? BREATHING. Using BOTH LUNGS AT ONCE. All hail the mighty albuterol.

Cream soups have starch, don't they? Or am I making shit up.

They have thickeners, which are usually flour. Campbell's cheddar cheese soup/sauce? Contains flour.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't think there's a bright line between soup and stew. But a lot of not very stew-like soups are inexplicably made with thickeners.

I need to come up with something to make for dinner. Maybe scrambled eggs?
