I don.t get it. Thee must be thousands of vegetable soup recipes with meat in them or meat product in them. Vegetarian vegetable soup may not even be vegan vegetable soup for which there are also lots of recipes.

This afternoon my niece called to discuss Thanksgiving dinner which she usually gets from a restaurant and brings down here. She wants something a bit more elaborate than a Wawa turkey sub. I refrained from reccomending Stouffer's frozen turkey breast dinner which I rather like. (Hey,I'm 83 years old with arthritis and use a walker.Most of my kitchen equipment is either too high or too low for me to reach) While checking out what's available she came across one restaurant that charges $200 for a thanksgiving dinner that serves 6 people, but does not include a turkey.

I don't know what rou jia mo means but going by the picture it doesn't look like it means mean green bell peppers .

Unless the article was in a Hardy Boys mystery or the Saturday Evening Post I might not have come across it, but if I had come across it I might have read it, and if I did read it I certainly would have hidden it from my mother. Lima bean haters are legion. They are right there along with brussel sprouts haters. The difference being that brussel sprouts are despised usually because cooked wrong whereas lima beans are vile in and of themselves however they are cooked. And, raw, they are poisonous. Note - I am not shaming brussel sprout haters I have sympathy for them because they've never had the opportunity to encounter any of the many delicious ways brussel sprouts can eaten cooked or raw.

Having experienced lima bean shaming as a child I might have appreciated an article on how to cultivate a taste for lima beans. I might have started small such as vegetable soup with a few lima beans in it and gone on to succotash and then forward to lima beans as a vegetable side dish. No longer would I sit at the dinner table for what seemed hours contemplating a dinner plate with a mound of the vile beans in front of me

Staff note: This post and subsequent responses were split from the Mac and Cheese: Defining and Pushing its Boundaries topic, to maintain focus. (a)Macaroni is the macaroni product the units of which are tube-shaped and more than 0.11 inch but not more than 0.27 inch in diameter. (c) Spaghetti is the macaroni product the units of which are tube-shaped or cord-shaped (not tubular) and more than 0.06 inch but not more than 0.11 inch in diameter. (d) Vermicelli is the macaroni product the units of which are cord-shaped (not tubular) and not more than 0.06 inch in diameter. Thus sayeth the in fedgov one of its regulations. So you could have Mac and cheese, Spaghetti and cheese or Vermicelli and cheese It'smuch easier tnan saying you are having pasta which is tube shaped and between 0.11 inches and 0.27 inches in diameter and cheese for dinner. Somewheres there may be a very bored beaurocrat with a set of calipers and a box of pasta praying that his agency will offer its employees an early out. in one of its cost cutting frenzies.

I suppose it's better than putting "Don't eat or play with raw flour,dough,or batter. It'll give you worms." on the label'

My sympathy is with the customers having her sitting close by.

Barney and his friends agreed it had been a great picnic. "And"said Barney as he picked his teeth with Dipsy's antenna "the teletubbies had been especially delicious".

Probably beef spleen.It was so long ago I can't remember for sure.
