I'm just finishing a cup (SA pink/dots cup from HWC last year) of vegetable soup that I just made in my new 12 quart stockpot.

FINALLY! I've got a pot large enough to make veggie soup so I can toss in a rutabaga and not have broth all over my range! YUM!
 
KG - I'm sure you look CUTE with your pink/dots cup...is it because it's Valentine's Day?? Anyway...good day to be consuming soup today! Don't have the big stockpot yet...got my eye on it though.

No, I use it for two reasons - one, it's the perfect serving size for me for almost anything and two, it's from Help Whip Cancer. As a survivor, I can tell you that every day is Help Whip Cancer day.
 
i was trying to be funny....ha ha? sorry...

No need to apologize - in fact, thanks for giving me a chance to mention it again! I'm not ashamed of it and don't keep it a secret because early detection is the best route to a cure. BTW - Mom beat cancer twice and then her heart killed her, so no one ever said life was fair! :)
 
We are so glad you beat that cancer, KG! I bet you look adorable with your pink dots cup. Keep eating that healthy food so we can keep you around for a long, long time.

Congratulations on being a cancer survivor! I'm also a survivor, thyroid cancer survivor! I agree, early detection is the key!!:D

Thanks - but I don't want to be congratualted as much as I'd rather be an inspiration to someone who needs the inspiration. I was pretty far along when I detected mine. A cousin, diagnosed with the same thing, at the same time, had a different doctor and protocal. He died three years later. I'm now just short of eight years.Obviously, my work here isn't done. I conclude that I must have a lot of people to annoy before I move on.
 
KG - are you going to post your veggie soup and pea soup recipes?

The veggie soup today was an experiment because I've never had this much pot space to work with before. I'll let you know how it comes out next time.
 
KG I agree with you. Heart & cancer are both causes close to me. I wish we could do something for both causes through PC.
