I think it was the writer of Horse Whisperer who inadvertently
poisoned his whole family in Scotland.

I know it's a hobby people enjoy, but don't look up the mushroom
After dinner like he did. When everyone's writhing in pain, that
might be a little late.

With your skill level in mind, I suggest you boil ground beef, mushrooms and onions. When it's all nice and biled, add sour cream but don't bile it.

She's a year older than I am, which makes her 54. She comes across as

I don't believe canned soup was food for poor people. It's a
convenience item, just like so many other things. Naturally people
began using it to stretch a meal or as you say, sf, make a quick gravy.
Canned soup has been around for a very long time.

Did you ever see the movie 'The Beguiled'? Very early Clint Eastwood
(not a Western). Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned... or in this
case, a house full of women/girls at school for young ladies during the
Civil War. Spoiler: in the end he was poisoned at the dinner table
after eating mushrooms the youngest girl picked *especially for him*.
After all, he'd killed her pet turtle. Very strange movie.

Stroganoff is browned strips of good steak with mushrooms and onions in
sour cream and does not take too long to cook but it's not cheap. I
would add that quite a few cooks would season with paprika.

Isn't it funny that as we become older, it doesn't sound that old to us? :-)

For example, pre-sliced apples, or any of the other zillion
things Julie buys that most of us would make.

Thanks, I figured she was around 55.

> She comes across as much younger than that, IMHO.

Yes, that's true. I thought doormat was an astute observation, but
I'm done with Julie bashing. It's her life and she can live it - but
I don't want to hear about it either.

The thing that still bothers me is how she expects everyone to keep a
scorecard of the likes/dislikes, intolerances and allergies of
everyone in her family. What's the most annoying is when she asks
open ended questions with no parameters and then when someone replies
with something on her no-no list, it's a big problem. What she should
do is say thank you, take the ideas and work with them or go to the
*internet* to find a similar recipe that fits her needs instead of
turning it into another "all about me" thread.

Exactly. So many here go on and on about salt not being an issue for
most people and then getting their panties in a wad over the salt
content of canned soup. I won't go on, but you get my point - and the
subtext.

I don't think it's the end of the world for someone to say right here
on rfc that they use canned soup for one reason or another. You and I
don't do that, but it's never been part of the way I cooked and
believe it or not - my mother, the convenience food queen of the '50s,
didn't used canned soup for those purposes either. I remember
Campbell's tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch on some
cold Saturdays, but that's about the extent of it.

Thanks for the link. I've made soup from canned tomatoes a couple of
times, but I didn't puree it or strain it, so it was chunky. That
looks good, I'll try it, but I think I'll leave out the red pepper
flakes.

Ha! My mom's recipe for "chili" was a pound of browned ground beef, a
can of kidney beans (sometimes she got adventurous and bought so-called
"chili-beans"), 2 cans of Campbell's tomato soup and two soup-cans of water.

My family's recipe for spaghetti sauce used Campbell's tomato soup.
It also had bacon, for some reason. It was nasty, and no wonder I
didn't eat spaghetti with sauce on it until I left home.

Spaghetti (red) sauce was one of the things my mom could do very well.
Even using canned tomatoes (the military commissary was often quite far
away and she pretty much wouldn't shop anywhere else) it was very good.
She'd add minced onions, garlic, diced celery (including some chopped
celery leaves, IIRC). I don't know exactly, I was too young to notice
all the details. She'd let it cook down for hours. It was delicious!

Then somewhere along the line, Mom discovered jarred sauce. I don't
blame her, really. She despised cooking. I'm sure my father would have
loved it if she had been a great and enthusiastic cook. He must have
loved her. :-) He knew she couldn't cook when they got married.

She really did try. Sometimes she knocked it out of the ballpark! But
she discovered those convenience foods shortcuts. She made wonderful
from scratch scalloped or au gratin potatoes. Enter Betty Crocker... no
more from scratch potatoes. To his credit, my father did not complain.
(Sometimes he'd even cook. He made great Navy Bean soup.)

My brothers and I didn't complain, either. We just learned how to cook
better as we got older.

I think I had two of them... I might even know where they are. They

Campbell's were soup mugs... and still have three out of four.

I just googled Heinz soup and what's being sold now is not what we were
able to buy way back in the 1960s & 70s. It was sold in a tall can
(26-28 oz ?)with a blue label, and as I've mentioned, none of the
varieties were condensed. I'm quite sure that what we had then is no
longer available. OTOH, Heinz will be around forever! (-:

From her (Julie) comments she is only 10 years or so younger than I am.
I will be 62 years old in a few days.

Big grin from the story about your grandmother! My husband likes pork
chops cooked with soup, but since I cook it I get it my way - cooked
with sauerkraut & served with mashed potatoes.

You have a very peculiar way of deciding what "most really old people"
do or have. I have a smart phone (love it!!) with the capability of
different ring tones for different callers. My son's ringtone is a
funky little tune he fell in love with in of his music education
classes. No clue what its name is, but it's a bouncy little tune. My
DH's ringtone is the one from Geico, "a ring a ding ding doh" or
something like that. It's loud and grabs my attention immediately. My
generic ringtone is Nola by Jonathan of Jonathan & Darlene.

My text notification is a harp gliss. My email notification sounds like
Big Ben.

I'm an older person with no clue what the music is you referred to. Of
course, I no longer have a teen in the house. (-:

Jeez, you make it sound like being "very" old is a bad thing!

Pay no heed. It's not worth it.

If they had to use it to stretch a meal, they were poor people!

What upsets you so much about presliced apples? They are treated so they
won't brown and they are easily portable. No sticky core to dispose of.
They can grab a bag on the way out along with a piece of cheese (also
wrapped) and there's lunch. And it's healthy food!

Maybe you like biting into an apple. I don't. The peel sticks between my
teeth. Yes, the sliced ones have peel but it's small enough and easy enough
to eat so that it doesn't do that.

A woman I used to work with once proudly described to me a new cabbage
roll recipe she had found. "You just pour a can of tomato soup over
them!"

Yum.

I love hearing a loud, sometimes obnoxious, sound coming from my purse
or from a pocket. I do have the common courtesy to silence my phone in
theaters and public gatherings, but I like to be amused by short sound
files. My absolute favorite is the one I use for my sister: "Bitch
alert! There is a bitch at the other end of this phone call. Bitch
alert!" (-:
