Has anyone tried the new V8 broccoli soup? It's excellent!

I've made broccoli soup from scratch, but soup weather has pretty much ended in these parts for a spell-- unless we're talking cold soup, of course.
Mmmm... borscht...

I don't really cook (I can, I just don't enjoy it), so for me it's always soup weather. After all, how much heat does a microwave throw off?

I manage to enjoy it sometimes, despite the fact that our kitchen is crap and always will be. I'm probably the last person in North America to possess neither a dishwasher nor a cellphone.
OTOH, the blender and the food processor are great during cold soup season.

This sounds like you are the only person who has a cell phone and dishwasher.

[shrug] It's okay. I never worked out that whole colon vs. semicolon thing, either.
I need to invent a method for making disposable dishes out of weeds and grass clippings.

I'm even worse at anything to do with plants. I kill cacti, aloe and ivy. If I took up gardening, I'd probably start a famine.

Right now, gardening with native plants is all the rage here. It works less well in practice than in theory, particularly if the dominant plants in your yard are already non-natives.
[sigh]

When it came time for me to buy a home, I bought a condo with no unpaved ground attached to it. What did those plants ever do to me?

And so I should reward them by killing them with my gardening ineptitude?

Some Native American tribes say prayers of thanks to the animals they kill for food. You could adopt the same practice . . .

Grass is damn hard to kill. Take it from one who tries each and every summer.

I have yet to meet a plant I couldn't kill. It may be a super-power. Maybe it's related to Rockhopper Lad's ice powers--kind of like a killing frost.
