That, or we are so sweet talking and genteel, that even though we are
fighting, an outsider would never know it. We cloak our words in
velvet and sugar....

It's like "Bless his/her heart".....

It's also a natural diuretic - when I've had to make weight for a meet,
it's one of the foods I try to have the night before for dinner.

It seems like it would be VERY salty, no? Since you posted it,Dimitri,
I'm inclined to trust it :-) Maybe it's the aging process, but I seem
to be bothered more and more by salt in processed foods. I have
actually made my own dry onion soup mix but it still uses bouillon
crystals so it's probably as salty as the brand name one.

Oh crikey, now I have a hankering for tuna casserole! I make mine with
white sauce to which I add sauteed mushrooms and onions. I like peas or
spinach in mine, and sometimes a bit of cheese melted into the white
sauce if I'm of a mind. And I augment the breadcrumbs with toasted walnuts.

Pretty caloric stuff but tasty!

Trader Joe's chicken broth concentrate in packets
is very low in salt -- I sometimes end up adding salt
to my soups because it's so low, and I normally eat
a low salt diet. They have a chicken flavor and a
vegetable flavor. I don't remember whether they have
a beef flavor, because I don't eat U.S. beef products
anymore.

Good tip, Mark, I'll look into it. The homemade onion soup mix I keep
on hand is made with beef flavor, but given that I only ever use it in
other recipes (bread, etc) and not as a soup, it might be fine.

Andy only wants to be a Southern Lady........I heard a rumor he got tossed
from Fredericks of Hollywood trying to get someone to help him re-enact the
corset lacing scene from Gone with the Wind.

Too funny.

Reminds of me a woman I once worked with - she was so "genteel" that she
could tell people to Go to Hell in such a "nice" way that they actually
enjoyed the trip. ;-)

Hey, I've described Rob that way for years! "He's so diplomatic he can
tell you to go to hell and you'll look forward to the trip." Bless his

Yes, and the guys who raped them committed "nasty, sloppy" and "wrong"
acts, "out of desperation."

I don't give a shit if you think my comment was in bad taste. Eating
tuna noodle casserole is like sliding into a raw bleeding orifice
filled with the semen of thirty other men, and Charlie doesn't want
tuna with good taste anyway.

Can you still get cream of shrimp soup? I haven't seen it in years.
I have a recipe that calls for it and I have to substitute cream of
celery (the recipe also has both shrimp and celery in it -- like yours.)
