Neither am I. There are absolutely no discounts from AARP that I'm
interested in. I don't need discount hotel or travel rates.

Apparently Sheldon thinks your son should join the YMCA. He can learn
to SCUBA dive. Lots of that going on in Saint Louis, right? LOL Ditto
ice skating at the local Y.

I kind of get the idea of the soup and it's not unappealing. The
constant ad interruptions in the middle of the soup recipe were annoying.

You need to read for context... I only mentioned the pool at the Y as
much less expensive alternative to a pool at home.

We like sweet potatoes but only oven baked, whole, until the flesh
firms and skin crisps. Sweet potato soup is similar to butternut
squash soup... textures are puke city.
As a kid we would buy baked sweet potatoes and chestnuts in winter
from street venders, they'd come by with a push cart and wood fired
oven. The hot sweet potatoes went into coat pockets, made for great
hand warmers in winter. Neither of us likes creamed soups, reminds us
of the Soup Nazi. We don't like creamy white potato soup either, we
like peeled and diced red skinned potatoes minimally cooked in chicken
stock til just tender. I don't own a stick blender, I've no use for
one.
I do make summer squash soup, more a stew of different summer squash
in chunks, with some carrots, celery, eggplant, and roma tomatoes. I
did post pictures of it a while ago but I'd need to search for it now.
Most of my pictures are not titled, they are in dated folders, about
every thirty pictures I begin a new folder. If I come across it I
will post it, but could be from several years ago.
