When I was cooking the hamburger, the temptation was great to just add some flour to the pan and make a roux but I decided that it was going to be balls to the walls and full speed ahead. My wife and I enjoyed the pie but I'll probably never make anything with canned soup again.

Interested in learning about it, yes. I ate enough of that shit in the
1960s. I don't need to eat it now.

> No, of course not, the only thing you're interested in is eating but I want to also learn how people were back in the old days. Rest assured that I'm not interested in this kind of cooking as a general practice - not that it's any of your business.

You made it my business by posting it to Usenet.
