 DD> I think there is a solution - if your dad will use it.

 DD> http://tinyurl.com/U-LISTEN-HEAR will take you to Amazon's "tv

About what I thought. Tha Slim is *always* on vacation when you need him.  Bv)=
 
 DD> use them. I suspect your dad will probably be the same -
 DD> hard-of-hearing and hard-headed both.

 RH> Being polite, yes.

Oh, some days I am the very soul of discretion and politeness.
 
 DD> So, I went looking for a deaf recipe to add to this post ... and found

 RH> Might take a look, tho I've not used the ASL in years. Every so often

 DD> That's handy. I don't know much except basic signs. Mostly involving a
 DD> single finger - or two with the other hand's thumb and forefinger at
 DD> the mouth preparatory to blowing a raspberry.

 RH> Pretty much universal, but not acceptable everywhere.

Lately I have been signalling my displeasure with an upthrust pinky finger. For
those who don't deserve the very best. I don't know of anywhere that blowing a
raspberry is "acceptable". Appropriate, certainly. Acceptable -- naaaaaahhhhh.
Especially a loud, wet raspberry.
 
 DD> watched through the video to see what brand of soup was used as the
 DD> text of the recipe did not say. Well, I suppose it's probably the
 DD> ubiquitous Campbell's - but no one bought an advert so the labels were
 DD> removed.  Bv)=

 RH> Label removal seems common, sometimes I've seen fake labels as well.
 RH> But, Campbell's is the most common canned soup so they very well could
 RH> be the soups used. Can't say as I've bought many of them in the last
 RH> few years, switched to more of the Amy's Organics.

I've no experience of "Amy's Organics". Is it a regional or specialty store
brand?
 
 DD> Campbell's is about the only cream-of-mushroom soup that I get along

 DD> cumin (I dunno what they were thinking), others are waaaaay too salty.
 DD> Heck, Campbell's is borderline too salty to start with. Anyway,
 DD> Progresso, Wolfgang Puck, Nalley's are OK on some things. But
 DD> Campbell's C-O-M is my default. And Bookbinder's Clam Chowder. Oh,

 RH> I make my own C-O-M or whatever equivalent 99.99% of the time.

Most of my soup making is along the clear broth lines. Except for potato and
clam chowder and bisque and I think I just negated my first sentence in this
paragraph.  Bv)=  But, I do make a lot more of the clear broth soups -- partly
because they are quicker and I am usually wanting to get on with other things.
 
 DD> heck - we could do a whole (large/long) thread on canned and/or
 DD> home-made soups.

 RH> Yep!

 DD> The URL at the bottom of the recipe will take you to the site if you

I've no one to the north of me, and south of me is seldom home. Besides she has
little room for complaint after subjecting me to her yappy little fur balls for
nearly three years until they yapped themselves to death. Her current little
teacup sized black curly-haired pooch is friendly and I've never heard it bark.
