Is there a need for all the swearing? I no longer make it as I can't eat
tuna and neither will Angela. Husband shouldn't have fish either and he
never liked the thing. Tuna casserole was one exception when we could eat
fish and dairy. Then I would use cream of mushroom soup. But I also made
it with white sauce. Even as a kid I used the white sauce just to be
different and my bro liked it as he hates mushrooms. Sometimes added cheese
to the white sauce.

One other exception, again, when I could do dairy was Tater Tot casserole.
Then I would use cream of celery soup.

I did learn to perfect making a mushroom sauce with no dairy. Dairy free
margarine or olive oil, rice milk, some fresh chopped mushrooms and for
thickener, dried mushrooms that had been whizzed up in the Magic Bullet.

Once in a while back in the 80's I would use cream soup with chicken breasts
or husband. He ate them but didn't rave about them.

But bottom line, when you can't have dairy, you can have cream soups. And
if I'm going to make something in the Crock-Pot, I sure as heck don't want
cream soup in it.

Aside from the tuna casserole and possibly Chicken Amandine (not sure as
can't remember the ingredients) I didn't grow up eating stuff with cream
soup in it. Seems it is more common in other parts of the country than it
is here.

I never even used cream soup for chicken casserole. I used chicken gravy
for that.

No and I never said that it did. Made Campbell's tomato soup for Angela's
dinner and also a grilled cheese which I did do the proper way in a pan.
No, I didn't make the bread from scratch or the cheese. She has the flu and
I figured I'd take advantage of her wanting soup and she hasn't willingly
eaten any soup since I don't know when. Whenever that year was that I made
soup or stew for us almost every night during the winter. I was forced to
use the Crock-Pot then because dinner fell right at dance time. That way we
had something ready when we got home and so did husband who then got home
before us. She finally snapped and announced, "I don't want anything
soupy!" And she never ate it again. Until today. I think it may well have
been a super cold winter too. Me? I love soup. The others here? Not so
much.

I have an idea. Why don't you list all of the foods you cannot eat, and all
those that your daughter and husband either cannot or will not eat? Post
the list here, then blow your brains out with a pistol.

I'll pass. And I made a typo. Should have read that you "can't" have cream
soups with a dairy issue. Husband's only problem is gout. Well the only
food related one.

It wasn't supposed to be funny, and Julie is a glutton for punishment. She's
not going to *do it* anyway. I wouldn't even want her to, but that doesn't
mean I can't be hateful. With Andy, I was serious. I never did see a cause
of death for him, but hey, New Year's Eve and all.

I actually admire you, Julie. You are a mess, but you're tough as nails.
You post so much worthless bullshit that is relevant to no one but yourself,
and you seem un-phased by so many folks' negative reactions. I mean that.

I'm sure you do.
