Saw ******* snow today. On October 11th

Also, ham and potato soup is a better cold winter soup than chili

Our favorite soup is a family recipe called four bean soup. Pretty self explanatory that there is four types of beans, beef and bacon. It's the bomb diggity but we have had to put it on well uh...hiatus a couple of times if you catch my drift.

Time to start thinking about making batches of chicken soup. Bake a chicken on Saturday, make the soup on Sunday, lunch for the week is just ladle and go.

We have chili, potato, chicken noodle, ham and bean, and chicken tortilla soup throughout the winter; all homemade and all awesome.

You live in Minnesota. I think you need to have a version of Creamy Chicken Wild Rice Soup that is comparable to Byerly's to get a state-issued ID.

I have never tried making it, but if I am going to go to the trouble, I'm just going to make my chili. I don't think CCWR soup gets better as leftovers. Chili on the other hand only keeps getting better in the fridge - until it starts turning green, that is.

I disagree, CCWR soup gets better in the fridge. The recipe I use has bacon in it, too. Although I would classify it more as a “stewp” or a stew/soup the way I make it—a very thick soup.

No one in my family appreciates soup. I will make it at least once a week in the fall/winter and there are usually complaints every time. So far no one has offered to make dinner instead of me, so they get soup once a week.

I’m ready for the election to be done. I’m tired of this one lady saying she knows farming because her sister and BIL are grain farmers. Just because I have a relative who is a doctor doesn’t mean I know the health field because of that. On every 10 minutes also.
Living in Omaha we get those type of ads for both Iowa and Nebraska.

So yesterday we got an email from our building principal (working part time in the elementary school) and I just read the preview of it. She was hosting a nacho bar for the staff in honor of mental health awareness day. I guess nachos make everyone happy. ;) I failed to see the other half of the message which was you could wear whatever you wanted to work today. Would wearing sweats make you happy? Wear sweats. Wearing a dress make you happy? Wear a dress. I saw that after I was already dressed for the day. I pretty much can wear jeans every day, so it wasn’t a huge deal. But it was fun seeing people all comfy in sweats and sweatshirts for the day.

Not exactly sure.

I get the Minnesota ones. Most irritating one is one guy claiming that the other is a career politician and never there and in turn the second guy talks about the other guy moving in just recently to the district. They are claiming the same thing against each other.

I’d rather not, if you get what I bean - uh, mean.

Went to an Amazon Go store today.

1. Cool to not have cashiers
2. I was in and out in 1 minute 29 seconds according to the receipt
3. My sandwhich sucked
4. Prices were competitive at least for the bad sandwhich
5. Millennial hipsters seem to be the target audience

Trying to figure out how I got on Pacific time. Actually, more like Alaska time. :confused:

I am usually on Mountain time, must be the poopie weather.
