the first year we were married got all kinds of different beers for him, he loved that. Could do that but seems redundant.

. . . one yummy tomato soup recipe for a EASY tasty beef stew recipe. Anyone?
CLASSIC TOMATO SOUP INGREDIENTS
*4 tablespoons butter
*2 tablespoons olive oil
*1 chopped medium onion
*coarse salt and ground pepper (or just use regular salt and pepper like I do)
*1/4 cup all purpose flour
*3 tablespoons tomato paste
*2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
*2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth (I don't use reduced sodium)
*2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes in juice (with basil if available) *If you have canned tomatoes from someone's summer garden, this is especially good.*
1. In 5-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat: add oil and onion, season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste, cook 1 minute.
2. To saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with your fingers. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. (Remove thyme sprigs before blending).
3. Using an immersion blender (I use a hand mixer. What's an immersion blender?), puree soup in pot, leaving a fair amount of tomatoes in chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or let cool to room temp before dividing among airtight containers (leaving 1 inch of space at the top) and freezing.
This recipe came from the Everyday Food website at PBS.org. It is very yummy.

Trade with China
... and this is only the beginning. When one considers China is still a communist country, does not have human rights let alone dignity for how it treats its animals, all I can do is shake my head. In China there is no such thing as environmental law. People and companies dump toxic waste every day in rivers and streams, excretment, human and animal, is strewn where they grow their food, animals are treated in a fashion that would horrify us, and dangerous chemicals are not controlled in their country to the extent they are here - so how can we expect them to have a standard we have been used to? And who can we hold responsible? Our government, the agency who is to supposed to protect us citizens. Since corporations run our government today,the agencies, namely the FDA can only do so much. The FDA in itself is in dire need of overhauling. This is a dangerous gray area we are entering. Coporations have much protection and sanctions when it comes to their business practices, and how much legally they are required to tell the consumer. The time has come for the American public to demand more from the companies we purchase products from, and as I always say, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE. It is our right and responsiblity as American citizens to address these issues and demand change.
Trade jobs with him for a day
You may find that your job really is rather cushy! 
I'll trade
I'll trade... we can work anywhere LOL... This is true... I am sure that after a week even I'd be thinking about a flight home to the palm trees. But, if you are interested in trading, I live near Disney (never go, can't afford it), have a pool, live in a pretty country house and for the most part the only time you will sweat bullets is when you step a foot outside the house. Better make sure to bring money because they only allow you a few ounces of deodorant on the plane. Not that you stink but we do if we don't stock up on our Soft-N-Dry! OK then, at least throw me a virtual snowball now and then and I'll send you mickey mouse and his ears to visit for a while :)
He's actually a locksmith by trade.

I'll trade you
For the six inches of snow and ice in our yard. But seriously, I hope things clear up for both of us soon. I can't wait for Spring!
Years ago... (~20) I went to San Diego for a trade show -sm
my boss left me after 3 or so days for another trip and left me to pack up, etc. I had been scared at the beginning of the trip being only 22 or so at the time. But I had asked to stay a day after the close of the show so I could do sightseeing. I took the rental car and drove up the cost to the San Diego Wildlife park (alone) and had a blast. Best day I have ever had a zoo, granted this was not your ordinary zoo. It was nice driving down the Pacific Coastal Highway too and seeing the ocean on the west coast (I am from the east coast). I have not had the opportunity to do this ever since, planned to but never did a trip to England I wanted to take alone. But I never felt alone at the hotel or anything, eating alone was the only thing that bothered me in the resturant in the hotel; did drive through otherwise. Go and enjoy yourself. I plan to take off for a week so with the kids next summer and go camping, sightseeing, etc. and if my DH can come great, if not it will be just me and the girls!
we once TOWED our trade in to the dealer - no probs! nm

Top Chef
Anybody see Top Chef last night? What did you think?
I'd totally trade the wrinkles in favor of being thinner.
I'm an adipose tissue roller coaster...I start to pack on the pounds come fall and then start to drop it all come spring. It is so hard to stay active during winter...even everyday chores in winter aren't enough to keep my body type trim, and then there's all that glorious comfort food that shows up around those shorter, colder days that are of absolutely no help either.
Almost time to get that BBQ grill cleaned off and prepped for grillin healthy things like veggies and fish. Now, if I could only hide the blender on myself so those pesky Margaritas stay away....
MMMmmmmm....summer!
You're crackin' me up....locksmith by trade!...Perhaps a cat burgular?.
Pampered Chef
I know there were more replies, but apparently those didn't follow my post when it got moved to the Gab board. Thank you all for your replies!
I have a Majic Chef
They certainly are a lot cheaper now than they used to be. Paid 60 for mine originally and bought one for my sister last year for $10 at a yard sale, unopened! I find I like homemade mixes better than the premix ones, although they require no measuring. You can find some awesome prices on ebay "right now". There is an Oster going in about an hour that is only at $9.95. (Item number: 250110648128. If you buy one used just make sure it has all the parts, even the little blade that mixes inside. If on ebay, they should state it is missing. I would consider buying one from ebay or a thrift store because these machines are rarely used. You really have to be into bread especially fresh bread. Most people buy them, never use them and then sell. Mine is in the closet right now but only because of limited space! I would also invest in a bread machine recipe book. Oh how fattening. So many recipies. Most machines also allow you to schedule the cook time like a coffee pot, "you just set it and forget it" (I hate that phrase). It is sure nice to wake up to the smell of fresh bread too! Rosemary, Pumpernickle and Rye..Oh my!
Thanks for reminding me about my machine!
My chef husband says
tgry either lemon juice or salt.
From above:In the end chef gets things set right again.

I have been invited to these shows and I guess they are fun a couple of times, but then you have to change the people you invite, because I just felt guilted into buying stuff from my neighbor, and she would give me some "gotta pay the bill story or husband got laid off thing," so I had to decline further invitations. I still like the stuff I bought because the quality was good, but it was a little overpriced, plus the peer pressure factor felt weird.
I know! I was surprised it was Jeffrey too....and what about Top Chef?!!? ; )
Hooked on that too!
Chef Mickey's is the best! Call now for reservations
I think it cost about 90 for my husband, three kids and me, but very worth it. They take a picture of you with one of the characters while waiting in line and then you pay for it after dinner. The characters stop by your table one at a time to say hi to the kids, very cute! You just take a tram through all the hotels until you get to the Contemporary. Have fun!
Since it is the off season, Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort is a MUST! For us, we sm
did the brunch thing (11:00), and the food was absolutely AMAZING. If price isn't a big deal (for us, we splurged), then you must visit this place. You can have different reservation times depending on your schedule. We chose brunch, but you can do lunch, dinner. I can only recommend brunch because that is what we ate. Delicious, gourmet and non-gourmet food. They had the neatest candy bar where the kids could eat all the candy they could get their hands on. All of the characters come around the table and you take tons of pics.
But you must have a reservation for this place. You just call them. Find the number on line.
Also, I recommend Dixie Stampede.
So many I can hardly count....
