RE: VEGETARIAN RECIPES for newbies and the rest of us
mustangsally, you're new recipe looks awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed Linda's favorite soup....I have to say, though, next time do try to use the cabbage, it adds such an extra "umph" of flavor that's hard to describe. Okay, so you're right... it's the Holiday season and it's time to bring out the best recipes that we've come to cherish, so here's my contribution: It's fun to make, easy and very delicious! When I posted it last year on another forum, a lot of people said that made it and really loved it. Even people that don't usually like Cranberry Sause seem to like this. CRANBERRY CONSERVE Put l pkg. of fresh cranberries in pot Add l cup water and l 3/4 cup sugar (COOK UNTIL CRANBERRIES POP) 5-10 min. Then add: l Granny Smith apples chopped w/ skin Juice AND zest of l orange and l lemon COOK 15 minutes or med. low heat At end (optional) Add walnuts and raisins I just add the walnuts, I'm not that big on raisins ENJOY!!!

I thought it was extremely easy to read as well....that's what surprised me about the 55% , I tend to agree with SurSteven's 77.5% as being more realistic.

RE: The Beatles Picture Thread
calicoskych2001, those pics are great!!! I can honestly say that I remember that moment when Paul was waving at the concert. It was the proximity he was from us and the position he was in on the stage. It's almost surreal!! Coincidently, JESS just sent me a personal message with that photo cause she knew I was looking for an avatar and this one would surely capture THAT moment of that special evening every time I see it!! Thanks for posting those, calicosky, and JESS you're woman after may own heart!

RE: VEGETARIAN RECIPES for newbies and the rest of us
Hi mustangsally! Your name is a hoot! Thanks for your warm welcome to me after posting to your thread. There are some nice looking recipes on this thread and I'm sure I'll be trying some. I love to cook and try new recipes that appeal to me, and I watch several of the cooking shows on TV as well. I hope you enjoy the soup... I remember thinking how good it was even w/o meat when I first made it. Your addition of the white beans sounds great and I will certainly post more of Linda's recipes from time to time.....Peace to you as well.....Claudia

RE: The Original Paul McCartney Picture Thread
Geez macca09, those were awesome!! The eyes have it for the first several pics : I've always noticed how similar their eyes are....just beautiful. Adore the one of them sitting on the truck with Heather and the sheepdog....that one, and I've seen one of the two of them sitting on a porch with raised drinking glasses that I love as well. Thanks for those!!

RE: VEGETARIAN RECIPES for newbies and the rest of us
Years ago I bought two of LINDA McCARTNEY'S Veggie Cookbooks....not that I"m a vegetarian now, but I certainly gave it a good shot and still try to limit my meat intake. This soup recipe of hers is very simple and delish!! It's actually was her favorite Vegetable soup: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil l largonion, chopped 2 leeks sliced 3 sticks celery chopped l clove garlic crushed 4 medium carrots sliced l cup cabbage, shredded 2 medium potatoes, chopped l teaspoon chopped fresh thyme l teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 cups vegetable stock or water l 16oz. can chopped tomatoes salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Heat the oil in a large sauce pan and saute' the onion, leeks, celery and garlic for 5 mnutes. Ad the carrots, cabbage and potatoes and stir well. Add the herbs. Cover with vegetable stock and simmer, with the lid on , for about l hour. STir occasionally, and add more liquid if necessary. Add tomatoes to soup and stir well. Season the soup with salt and pepper and serve piping hot. ENJOY ALL!

miramis, those pictures you posted of Paul and Linda are outstanding!! Also like the ones with the kids....I remember seeing some of those when I was younger...thanks for posting......

RE: The Original Paul McCartney Picture Thread
Nice pic miramis! You know it brought to mind something......I read where Paul said that someone had told him he had nice feet, so that's why he decided to go barefoot on the cover of 'BLACKBIRD SINGING'....and of course we all know he's got nice long legs, but I just noticed in your photo what beautiful hands he has as well. He seems to be almost posing them for the pic. And the LUST goes on..

RE: The Original Paul McCartney Picture Thread
ritaellen, sorry I didn't see your post question to me on the previous page. What I meant about the side by side was the two pictures that were one right next to the other...I liked the one on the left....that's all I meant. But wait a minute, that one of him in the black tee-shirt is even better. OMG, I'm drewling.....how gorgeous is that!!! I can't stand it!!
