  1. G'day y'all. Another bright chilly morning, 41/5°, feels a bit like winter here.
  2. Mornin' Texy.
  3. We tease him because he's our adorkable youngster, yes Texy you're always gonna be the "youngster" just as my nearly 40 yearold son is my kid.

    Chapter 26

    A return to "normal" life while feeling anything but normal.
  5. Damn ... the secrets out ... they're born fully kilted.
  6. That's not Texy.
  7. Keep telling yourself that and someone will believe you ... you.
  8. Does she know she's one of your subjects?
  9. In this case ... thick socks.
  10. I had a friend who liked to cook hotdogs in his tomato soup 🤢 I am not fond of either boiled hot dogs or tomato soup.
  11. I suspect this is another case of a common language spoken in two very different ways. BTW, sago is derived from the sago palm and often referred to as Florida arrowroot.
  12. We had a lovely time of it thank you. Very few folks out and about. Christmas decorations were up in some areas and putting done in others so we had a bit of early holiday cheer.
  13. It's even chiller this morning, 44/7°. That second Canadian prezzie arrived. Mum and I are planning a day trip into Charleston today. We usually make the trip the Friday after Thanksgiving but with the spike in COVID and the possibilty of more folks out and about that day we thought we better choose a different day. The high temp is forecast for mid-50's/14° which is more like January here but it will be sunny. Thistle will be a happy boy. He loves Charleston. Lots of places to walk and it is one the most dog-friendly places we've gone.
  14. Hi and welcome. You're correct about many folks eating the soup and sandwich combo. I rarely do though I do like to have a bit of warm crusty bread. I also eschew the crackers in soup many here enjoy in favor of dipping the afore mentioned bread into the broth. I know dunking bread into my soup makes me a bit of a heathen.
  15. Clo is talking about creamed or pureed soups which are less common here in the US. Marty we mostly prefer what we refer to as hearty soups, something akin to a stew without thickening the broth. Also, remember Americans tend not to have multiple courses to our meals. We don't typically have a starter course. We often treat salads as a side or as the main rather than a separate course. We might have appetizers or separate soup or salad courses is when we dine out but rarely at home.
  16. Not all soups are pureed.
  17. Then why are they so often listed together in cookbooks? They are in essence a thickened soup.
  18. No really, he takes no responsibility.
  19. Oh yeah, right, you didn't fall. You were pushed and tripped.
  20. Not to mention stews.
  21. I'm with my Wonder sis on this. Soup makes a very satisfying meal. We're not talking consommé.
  22. Now he speaks truth.

    I think Ralph was more at fault. Rather than act on what he learned as "Tony" to fix what was wrong between them he offered Stanley hope of something better. He knew Stanley wasn't happy and used that knowledge to goad him into actions that would ultimately humiliate him before dragging him back into a mentally abusive situation. I hold little hope for them.
  24. Yeah, like that'll ever stop me ...
