. . . one yummy tomato soup recipe for a EASY tasty beef stew recipe. Anyone?
CLASSIC TOMATO SOUP INGREDIENTS
*4 tablespoons butter
*2 tablespoons olive oil
*1 chopped medium onion
*coarse salt and ground pepper (or just use regular salt and pepper like I do)
*1/4 cup all purpose flour
*3 tablespoons tomato paste
*2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
*2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth (I don't use reduced sodium)
*2 cans (28 ounces each) whole peeled tomatoes in juice (with basil if available) *If you have canned tomatoes from someone's summer garden, this is especially good.*
1. In 5-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat: add oil and onion, season with salt and pepper. Cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and tomato paste, cook 1 minute.
2. To saucepan, add thyme, broth, and tomatoes, breaking up tomatoes with your fingers. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. (Remove thyme sprigs before blending).
3. Using an immersion blender (I use a hand mixer. What's an immersion blender?), puree soup in pot, leaving a fair amount of tomatoes in chunks. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or let cool to room temp before dividing among airtight containers (leaving 1 inch of space at the top) and freezing.
This recipe came from the Everyday Food website at PBS.org. It is very yummy.

Trade with China
... and this is only the beginning. When one considers China is still a communist country, does not have human rights let alone dignity for how it treats its animals, all I can do is shake my head. In China there is no such thing as environmental law. People and companies dump toxic waste every day in rivers and streams, excretment, human and animal, is strewn where they grow their food, animals are treated in a fashion that would horrify us, and dangerous chemicals are not controlled in their country to the extent they are here - so how can we expect them to have a standard we have been used to? And who can we hold responsible? Our government, the agency who is to supposed to protect us citizens. Since corporations run our government today,the agencies, namely the FDA can only do so much. The FDA in itself is in dire need of overhauling. This is a dangerous gray area we are entering. Coporations have much protection and sanctions when it comes to their business practices, and how much legally they are required to tell the consumer. The time has come for the American public to demand more from the companies we purchase products from, and as I always say, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE, ADVOCATE. It is our right and responsiblity as American citizens to address these issues and demand change.
Trade jobs with him for a day
You may find that your job really is rather cushy! 
I'll trade
I'll trade... we can work anywhere LOL... This is true... I am sure that after a week even I'd be thinking about a flight home to the palm trees. But, if you are interested in trading, I live near Disney (never go, can't afford it), have a pool, live in a pretty country house and for the most part the only time you will sweat bullets is when you step a foot outside the house. Better make sure to bring money because they only allow you a few ounces of deodorant on the plane. Not that you stink but we do if we don't stock up on our Soft-N-Dry! OK then, at least throw me a virtual snowball now and then and I'll send you mickey mouse and his ears to visit for a while :)
I'll trade you
For the six inches of snow and ice in our yard. But seriously, I hope things clear up for both of us soon. I can't wait for Spring!
Have Bose, he is a chef by trade and
the first year we were married got all kinds of different beers for him, he loved that. Could do that but seems redundant.
Years ago... (~20) I went to San Diego for a trade show -sm
my boss left me after 3 or so days for another trip and left me to pack up, etc. I had been scared at the beginning of the trip being only 22 or so at the time. But I had asked to stay a day after the close of the show so I could do sightseeing. I took the rental car and drove up the cost to the San Diego Wildlife park (alone) and had a blast. Best day I have ever had a zoo, granted this was not your ordinary zoo. It was nice driving down the Pacific Coastal Highway too and seeing the ocean on the west coast (I am from the east coast). I have not had the opportunity to do this ever since, planned to but never did a trip to England I wanted to take alone. But I never felt alone at the hotel or anything, eating alone was the only thing that bothered me in the resturant in the hotel; did drive through otherwise. Go and enjoy yourself. I plan to take off for a week so with the kids next summer and go camping, sightseeing, etc. and if my DH can come great, if not it will be just me and the girls!
we once TOWED our trade in to the dealer - no probs! nm

I'd totally trade the wrinkles in favor of being thinner.
I'm an adipose tissue roller coaster...I start to pack on the pounds come fall and then start to drop it all come spring. It is so hard to stay active during winter...even everyday chores in winter aren't enough to keep my body type trim, and then there's all that glorious comfort food that shows up around those shorter, colder days that are of absolutely no help either.
Almost time to get that BBQ grill cleaned off and prepped for grillin healthy things like veggies and fish. Now, if I could only hide the blender on myself so those pesky Margaritas stay away....
MMMmmmmm....summer!
