Having been a "professional" cook, and since I am living alone, I
like to experiment with food (no, not THAT way!). I've discovered
some interesting combinations of prepared foods which are
actually quite good. For example, I take a can of chili with
beans, mix it with a can of vegetable soup (Progresso minestrone
works well), heat, and then enjoy chili soup. It's less filling
than plain chili, and lasts for several meals.

I've also begun saving the liquid from jarred dill pickles. It
works well in salad dressings, replacing the vinegar, and is also
nice in scrambled eggs.

[OT] Finally snowing here in Indianapolis. Only four inches
forecast, but it's a start.
