Naw, I can do without the red cabbage and apple stuff.  Too sweet for me even
with no sugar added, to match.

I am horrible. I have *no* sweet tooth.  I tolerate some sweets but not much.

Yuck!  I'd have stayed home too.  Not worth the bother!

Oh I make some serious 'mixed soups' but I seldom post them as they seem too
complex but really are:  grab everything from the fridge about to go bad and
put it on one side, then every leftover on the other side.  Use the about to
go bad then as much of the other as seems to match.  Turn crockpot on with
some broth (might be anything here as you know).  Let cook for 2 hours then
sniff and spice it.

magic stuff.

(dang, oversniffed, you agreed he knows to leave my gently knarfed bones alone
).

Yeah, it's just right for a pot.  It will also hold another 3-4 days if i
dont want to start now.
