I don't understand the idea that it has to be freezing cold outside for
someone to make and enjoy hot soup. I eat soup all year round. It's
going to be warm (low 70's) here later in the week. I bought some nice
looking fresh broccoli specifically with broccoli soup in mind.

I just bought some ice cream (okay, frozen yogurt). Just because it's

I eat hot soup all year but I will admit I eat twice as much hot soup
during cold weather... however I don't like cold soup nor do I like
creamy soup. My favorite soups are my own home made Oriental style
soups... made a 4 quart potful today, had two big bowls for lunch:
https://postimg.cc/ZCsxwYJz
I used the last of the left over roast fresh ham I had sliced and
froze and defrosted in the nuker and julienned. I added several
veggies, lots of sliced garlic cloves, fresh broccoli, bok choy,
'shrooms, celery, sweet onions, red bell pepper. grated some ginger,
some fresh ground white pepper, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and
thickened with a corn starch slurry. I ate two big bowls for lunch,
my 28 oz chili bowls from Williams-Sonoma. too bad they no longer have
them so glad I bought six, they were cheap back then, like $1.50 each.
Enough remains for tomorrow but I will chan ge it up by swirling in a
few beaten eggs, I love egg drop.. Can always tell real Chinese food,
eat till you're full, an hour later you're hungry. It's a lot more
work prepping all the ingredients but it's well worth it compared to
opening a can. For some reason the little Tops market in town had a
big produce sale this week, veggies were all premium quality, I bought
as much as I thought I could use... the boc choy was the best I've
seen in a long time, bought two big heads at 99¢/lb, very fresh
broccoli crowns the same price, giant sweet onions also 99¢/lb.
beautiful celery 99¢/stalk, nice big 'shrooms 99¢/lb. May go back and
buy more veggies tomorrow. I don't mind prep work, I actually enjoy
cutting up veggies, I find knife work very relaxing... I would never
think of butchering such lovely veggies with a non-food processor.
It's not possible to prep bok choy with a food processor... I've never
met a Chinese cook who uses a processor. When I prep bok choy I
remove the green from the white, I roll the green leaves and slice
them into fine shreds. The white portion is sliced into precise 1/2"
(+/- .005") mah jong tiles... after 50 years I've developed vernier
caliper eyesight.

Just by looking/ogling I can tell any woman's exact bra size... very
few women wear a correctly fitted bra... 99% of woman choose an off
the rack bra from Walmart for their rack.
When I first met my wife I told her to stop wasting her money on those
cheapo bras that do nothing for her 36 Cs. I choose all her bras and
I pay for them, I also hand launder them, and they never ever go in
the dryer. Ladies, never ever launder your intimates in the washing
machine.

My mother was a pretty good cook, but not with soups. We grew up with a
lot of canned soups, which probably explains why I seldom bother with
soup. I make butternut squash soup in the fall when they become
available, and I make split pea soup in the winter when I come across
smoked ham hocks. I just don't bother with soup in warm weather.

I am not big on cold or creamy soups either. Curiously, I like
Vichysoisse, which is cold and creamy. Go figger.

To each their own. I never thicken soups, although lentil soup
tends to thicken itself.

Bah. I have better things to do than stand around hand-washing stuff--
dishes or bras. I have mine fitted at a shop that does nothing but
bras. They go in the washer, but hang to dry.

It's not about eating, Jill.
It's simply about *cooking* a large amount of soup
or sauce, or chili. I define large amount here as
between 4-7 quarts because my largest pot is 8 quarts.

Temperature often varies here quite a bit.
As an example, last week we had 2 days reach a high of 75-79F.
The third day was a high of 39F. So in winter, when I cook
large, I'll choose the cold days.

Why?

1) On the coldest days, I stay inside more and a warm,
cozy house with good cooking smells is a good thing.
2) Main reason: Once all is finished cooking, rather than
let leave this sitting out for hours to cool just
enough to put in fridge, I can set it outside
on my balcony with lid to cool very quickly when the
temps are very low.

That's all, just that simple. This is why in winter, I'll
check the forcast for the coming week and plan to cook on
the coldest day.

So, you know 99% of all women? I must be in that 1% group. I've never
bought a bra at Walmart.

I thought my reply was to Cindy chiding you for making a pot of pea soup
when your temps were going to be <gasp> 59F.

Everybody missed the winky emoticon. I'd love to see some
59 F weather. A swing from -15 to 40 in a few days (earlier
this month) was quite satisfying, though.

I guess I did miss the winky. I would *not* want to live in your
climate, Cindy, but you're used to it. Then again, I don't grill in 34F
temps nor do I not make soup when it's 59°F. You do what you're used
to. Isn't cooking about eating? I think this is just Gary being
contrary again.

"Jane, you ignorant slut."
You cut out all the relevant things I said just to save face?
Fail = as I'm sure most here read my original post in it's
entirety.

I didn't cook on that warm day, I cooked the next day when it was
cold...20 degrees colder the next day. And 40F was the brief
high...most of the day was in the 30's.

Learn to read carefully for comprehension here. I nicely
explained Cindy's error about the day to both of you and I also
explained just WHY I like to cook large on colder winter days,
since you have no imagination other than what and why you do
things for yourself.

Sheldon has his Crystal Palace. I'm starting to believe the boxed
wine rumor about you. If you're not sure about someone's meaning
you should ask before guessing then condemning. If you really are
a mean drunk, best to write while drinking, resist posting and
save as draft. Next morning read those drafts before posting.

Actually that wasn't a winky emoticon, it was a smiley face.
I said cooking tomorrow and you responded with the current
forecast.
One more time.... that day was warm but "tomorrow" was 20 degrees
colder and I got to
put the finished pea soup outside to chill it down very quickly.

Being truthful and you misinterpreting what I said, Jill.
I like to cook large on colder days but I'll eat anything on any
day that sounds good.

Really? That's a lot more heat than a dryer.

I can't recall the last time I ironed anything. If it has
to be ironed, I get rid of it.

YOU did the winky in your response to my smile face.
Does your newsreader allow you to go back in threads?

If not here's what I originally said (with a smile)

Good Grief, man! It's going to be 59 F in Virginia Beach today.

I know I have an ironing board tucked in a corner where I can't reach
it. Should get rid of it. Not sure about where the iron might be

59F is chilly.

Years ago my wife was really upset with me over the way I had used our
iron. I used to it wax my cross country skies. Apparently that was not a
good thing. I had assumed it would melt right off. I was wrong. The
only time I use an iron these days is when I have to get dressed up and
my good shirts have been hiding in a closet so ling they have built in
wrinkles.

And hopefully you read my response to this. I didn't cook the
soup on the 59F day...I cooked the next day that topped at 39F.
Jill cut out all my response to save face yet still try to
belittle me. fail

Also, what's wrong with making soup at 59F? That's the temperature in
our house on winter mornings and it's too cold!

Don't ask me. Our house is 71 F all year long. I try not to
generate a lot of heat when the air conditioner is on, but it's always
time for soup. I make a pot every few weeks, winter or summer.

65+ people would be advised not to watch the show. Too much
excitement.

Yes, why not? Temperature in our house varies between 65F and 95F, but
if I was a soup eater, I'd eat it at any temperature. Same with ice
cream.

I didn't trim any of what you wrote, Gary. Subsequent replies to my
post to Cindy's reply to you (about the weather/temps) got snipped. I
didn't do it.

WTF are you talking about? I didn't trim anything. I replied to
Cindy's reply about the temps and you making soup. Any other snippage
was not done by me.

Don't worry, it's probably just the paint fumes.

I've made vichysoisse twice (using the NYT recipe). It's supposed
to be pureed and chilled. Not me. I keep it chunky and serve it
hot. Very good.

As Jill would say, "I can't imagine..." I can't imagine eating a
cold soup and also not one that you could eat/drink with an evil,
sea turtle killing straw. heheh

Anyway, I do like that soup but I don't do the last parts...puree
then chill. sorry.

Not vichysoisse, then, but potato-leek soup. Nothing wrong with
hot potato-leek soup.

Friends once served us a delicious potato leek soup topped with crumbled
Stilton. It was delicious.
