I was thinking this morning that Fake Fall is totally going to be my theme this month, and here it is in your post. :) Although, it's *really* fake fall here, since it won't be actually fall-ish for at least another month (and even then it's not for good.)<br /><br />The soup looks delish. I love potato soup, mostly as a vessel for the bacon. And I would *love* to read your gardening tips, even though I feel beyond help [insert sad sigh here].meghttp://makeitsnappy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-28652043476310445592009-09-29T12:49:08.106-07:002009-09-29T12:49:08.106-07:00Woohoo!

And no, I did not post my potato soup recipe, but now I guess I will. There was no avalanche of cheese, though.Knittahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945035053199605558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-2090235464699972072009-09-29T11:15:44.084-07:002009-09-29T11:15:44.084-07:00Alice - I would love to try some leeks in here whe...Alice - I would love to try some leeks in here whenever they're in season. The farmshare is currently giving us bucket loads of peppers, so that'll have to wait until the winter vegs some coming in. But then? I'll add some.<br /><br />IMQTPI - Welcome lurker and pie maker! Isn't that pie the best? It's my favorite thing to eat. I imagine it would be great with mushrooms because mushrooms make everything better. Except maybe ice cream. That would be gross.<br /><br />Sorry to hear your garden bummed out. Per Knittah's request (below), I will be sharing my methods in a series of posts, so stay tuned. Maybe they'll be helpful for you, too.<br /><br />Dig - Grapefruit juice? Weird. Maybe the babe wanted Vitamin C. <br /><br />After all my weather bitching yesterday, it rained last night. Do you love it? It was actually cool last night. To the point where I made roasted red pepper soup and wilted spinach with bacon for dinner. Divine.<br /><br />And today, TAH DAH, I'm wearing a sweater. AND tall boots. Thank you, Fall. <br /><br />Decca - When we have bacon in the house (which we did because the Bacon Share finally showed) I work it into nearly every meal until it's gone. I'm, like, the worst Jew ever - serving this on Yom Kippur eve.<br /><br />Kris - I remember watching a foodie type show once when they were in Southeast Asia somewhere and it was, like, balls hot out and all these people were hunched over their steaming bowls of Pho (Ok, so it must have been Vietnam if it was Pho, but whatever) and the host asked his fixer how they could eat hot soup when it was so friggen hot outside and the dude says that eating hot food when the weather is hot actually cools you down. <br /><br />I don't know the science behind that, but that's what I was telling myself as I ate my soup. Which was good. And no one barfed. ;)<br /><br />Once leeks are in season, I'm totally making this soup with leeks. Our farmshare is currently overburdening us with peppers. So, you know, last night I made roasted red pepper soup which was GREAT. Plus, after all my hot weather bitching, it rained last night. <br /><br />I love it when the weather listens to me.<br /><br />Alevin - If you're Bubba, you put way too much cheese on everything and then act all surprised when your wife gives you the whale eye. Seriously, it was so much cheese.<br /><br />Knittah - I will have to check out your version! Did you post it? <br /><br />I have made note of your requests and will plan to post a series of How-tos. Sound good?<br /><br />Wendy - I like your version! Bubba would like it because of the ham. I like other the other people's suggestions to add leeks. As soon as we start getting leeks in the farmshare (they're not quite in season yet) I'm going to remake this with leeks. <br /><br />Enjoy!FinnyKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813175777047535103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-75510484346174170262009-09-29T09:01:10.225-07:002009-09-29T09:01:10.225-07:00Oh, we are so having this for dinner tonight!

Actually, maybe I'll make it for lunch and Jeff can have the leftovers for dinner.<br /><br />I make a potato soup that is basically thinned out mashed potatoes with cubed pieces of ham and parmesan/garlic toasts on the side.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-88865789555401385992009-09-29T08:25:50.334-07:002009-09-29T08:25:50.334-07:00So weird!

Great minds, yada yada.<br /><br />And My Finny Gardening Mojo and Knowledge Wishlist:<br />1. Size and composition of the beds<br />2. Soil testing? Discuss.<br />3. Plant choice? Seed or plant?<br />4. How much sun does a bed really need?<br />5. If you were putting in a new bed, what sort of soil mix would you put in? Hypothetically speaking.<br /><br />Thank you, Marvelous Finny!Knittahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15945035053199605558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-78181452346763889572009-09-29T07:33:36.127-07:002009-09-29T07:33:36.127-07:00The weather up here in MN is perfect for sweaters ...The weather up here in MN is perfect for sweaters and hot soup.

I wou...How do you eat soup when it's that hot? I would throw up. You are obviously tougher than I.<br /><br />I have, however, been wanting to make potato soup (with leeks, because we have a lot of leeks). And it IS fall, so I could eat it without throwing up. Except SOMEONE in this house is now on a protein-heavy eating plan and is not eating bread or potatoes. BOOOO.<br /><br />I'll probably make the soup anyway and tell him to fill up on cheese. Good plan.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-18938241732886764992009-09-28T21:02:39.608-07:002009-09-28T21:02:39.608-07:00I adore you.

I have to say, having been hung over and pregnant (but not at the same time thank you), the hangover need for greasy carbs exceeds any prego craving I've had. Although I have, may times over the last few months, left my house at ungodly hours to fetch grapefruit juice.dig this chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08418144148141016215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-76864798000742727062009-09-28T20:44:21.024-07:002009-09-28T20:44:21.024-07:00Ooh!

Of course there is all that sand you have to wash off the leeks but the flavor they add to the soup is extremely heavenly.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708820677455557422noreply@blogger.com
