That's a total miscue by marketing, but it was explained to me that the Germans don't want to buy things that don't have what they're supposed to have in them.<br /><br />Gerry, I guess that was "marry me" potato soup. :)Windy Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-70203466455673478092010-01-06T22:30:38.746-06:002010-01-06T22:30:38.746-06:00Quick Cream of Potato Soup

Onion, diced.<br />1 largish rib of celery finely diced (with the leaves, they are important.)<br />salt & pepper.<br /><br />Boil veggies in water barely to cover until potato and celery are tender. Partially mash with hand masher. This will be about a quart so add milk (I like 2%.) to make up your desired amount. Heat to serving temperature and dot with a little margarine or butter. I like this soup with crusty rolls or Pilot Bread. My mom used to make this for us kids when we came home from school for lunch. It takes less than half an hour. <br /><br />Use at least 2% milk. Skim or 1% taste "off". <br /><br />If you want lunch to make the wire services, use whole milk. <br /><br />If you want to sit there with your arms wrapped around you, eyes closed, chanting, "Oh, Lord, Yes, Yesss, Ohhhh, Yessssss!" use cream.<br /><br />I made a pot of this soup for my finacee in March of 1968. We had just come back to my folks house from a nasty, rainy, windy fishing trip. After lunch she moved our wedding date from Sept. 1 to June 1. We'll celebrate our 42nd anniversary this June. (I used whole milk.)<br /><br />Gerry N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-28003417098955280632010-01-06T21:37:35.175-06:002010-01-06T21:37:35.175-06:00I'm amazed that someone can make a fat free pr...I'm amazed that someone can make a fat free product and still call it "Half & Half". Since one of the halves is cream in Half & Half, and cream is by its very definition high in fat, how does one go about making fat free Half & Half?<br /><br />That's like fat free lard. It's an oxymoron.GunGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217451122521161867noreply@blogger.com
