I believe I already said it was bad.

Barely present noodles and dehydrated vegetables in a salty dried

Two totally different things, Gary. My roasted butternut squash soup
doesn't purport to be anything other than just what it is. A nice tasty
Fall soup.

Thanks for mentioning it.

I picked up butternut squash at the farm stand. I mentioned that in

I adore cabbage. I'll be eating buttered cabbage with thinly sliced
pork tenderloin.
