Hi Janis,

 JK> I sometimes make Tomato soup that way.. we're real lovers of Tomato
 JK> soup.  This is a great one for a 'rush job' :)

 JK> ===Tomato Soup:===
 JK> 1 6-ounce can tomato paste
 JK> 1 can water
 JK> 2 TBS butter
 JK> 3-4 cans beef broth
 JK> 1 tsp sugar
 JK> 1/4 tsp salt
 JK> 1 onion, minced
 JK> 1 stalk celery, chopped
 JK> dash black pepper.
 JK> Oregano, basil


Suppose you could add a can of stewed tomatoes too.

 JK> Yes, that's so true.. Have you heard any more regarding Stephen's Mom?
 JK> Hope she's doing ok.


She's improving, in rehab now.  She might get discharged as early as the
end of the week.  Plans are to get a non stop flight from Rochester to
Tampa, ASAP after discharge so she can continue therapy, get the cardiac
cathaterisation she needs whenever the neurosurgeon gives the OK.
Somebody (possibly one of my BILs) would drive their car down & fly back
to NY.

True.  We used to take an older friend of the family (Steve's) to one in
Tucson from time to time.  I like the salad, wish they would do the
breadsticks in whole wheat as well as white. (G)

 JK> > When I get a chance to make it, I will.

 JK> Sounds good :)

It may take some time; I'm going to use up a lot of the pre dones in the
freezer.

Always something special, I'm sure. I remember my mom getting a doll
from Japan that sat on one of the dressers in the bedroom I shared with
my sisters.  Why, how she got it, I've no idea.

>> Hmm.. let's see.. I've been to Canada.. does that count? (G)

 JK> > Yes, and you've lived in a state you weren't born in.

 JK> I've visited a good number of states.. that was definitely
 JK> interesting.  Maine, CT, Mass., PA.,  born in NJ (bg)..  At one point,

 JK> (g).  I've never gotten as far west as CA though.. Ohio, Ill., KY.
 JK> though :)

I've visited or gone thru quite a few states; lived (longer than a
month) in NC, NY, CA, TX, GA, HI, & AZ.
