==================
Hi Dave,

 DD> I have days like that sometimes. I think they are euphemised as
 DD> "senior moments". As if ....

 RH> Been there, done that. My Fido doesn't spell check for me so got to go
 RH> with what I can spell (and sometimes hit the wrong key while doing so).

 DD> My Multi-Mail reader links to an editor (Notepad++) which has a spell
 DD> checker and just updated to spell-check as I type .... which drove me
 DD> nuts until I got used to it. Now it's a great convenience as I don't
 DD> have to press
 DD> Shift-Control-Alt-S to call the spell checker when I think I'm done
 DD> with a ost.

I'm not sure what Steve has with my set up; I know we're on Professional
Point and IREX & what routine I have to go thru to get my mail but not
all the ins & outs of it.

 DD>       Title: Vichyssoise
 DD>  Categories: Soups, Potatoes, Vegetables, Dairy, Poultry
 DD>       Yield: 6 servings

 RH> Looks pretty good actually. Wonder how it would be hot as well.

 DD> Probably be acceptable. My potato soup uses the tatties diced in 1cm
 DD> to 2cm cubes and lots of crisped, crumbled bacon - and Parmesan
 DD> cheese.

 RH> Sounds almost like a hot potato salad..........

 DD> Nah, no eggs diced into it, no pickle relish, no ....

I don't use eggs or pickle relish in my hot potato salad. I do use bacon
& onion in it instead.

 DD> And it's not that thick.

 DD> Making soups is, at the same time, the easiest and the hardest thing
 DD> you will ever do. Making soup (from almost anything) is easy. Getting
 DD> it "just right" ....

 RH> That's for sure!

 DD> I recommend this recipe - and not just because it's my own. It will
 DD> kill your carb count - but, it's worth it even if you can't eat
 DD> anything else all day. Bv)=

 RH> Carb count is crazy this trip--2 big carb meals yesterday blew this
 RH> morning's count high. Forgot to do my check Sunday until I started
 RH> eating--amazing how fast just 2-3 bites of a banana shot it up. By 4
 RH> hours later it was more reasonable tho.

 DD>       Title: Dirty Dave's Potato Soup
 DD>  Categories: Soups, Potatoes, Pork, Cheese
 DD>       Yield: 8 Servings

 DD>   Synthesised and tweaked from a combination of recipes and
 DD>   attempts to duplicate Eldon Drum's potato soup. It isn't a
 DD>   copy or a duplicate. But it's pretty darned good on its
 DD>   own.

 RH> Your dad or grandfather's potato soup?

 DD> Eldon was my dad. He made the best potato soup I ever ate in my life.
 DD> My Grandfather on the maternal side was a pretty good basic cook -
 DD> plain fare, well prepared. But the soup was my Dad's. I've never been
 DD> able to duplicate it - and he's not around to ask.   Bv(=

Sigh, do the best you can and eat it with good memories of the soup your
dad made.

 RH> This will be a day's worth of carbs in one bowl of soup. Guess I'll
 RH> have to eat low/no carb foods the rest of the day. I'll save it for
 RH> cooler weather than an AZ summer day tho.

 DD> Best not go for it then - because one bowl will just make you want
 DD> another one.   Bv)=  If Steve leaves you any, that is.

One bowl will probably fill me well. I'll just have to make sure I have
a good balance of protein with it; had a couple of high carb/low protein
days this week and the morning readings showed it. I ramped up the
protein, cut the carbs for a couple of days and it's doing better now.
