Vegetable Soup Premium Jigsaw Puzzle

You would only be shellfish if you didn't share it with someone else. I cray(ve)fish.

On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your soup?
Most fish soups start with C(sea), see?
How many servings b4 you fin-ish it?

Oh this made me laugh, Pixi! Because as always---I made far too much! My fishmonger gave me a big salmon head, so I slow simmered a piece of kombu (kelp) for an hour in a pot of water; then added the salmon head to make the base broth. Little ginger/garlic paste, a pound of fresh calms, and the salmon bits. Made way too much as usual, as there's only 2 of us!

Orinoco, I hope you have a freezer. That sounds very interesting. I don't think I've ever tasted kelp.
So glad I could give you a laugh.

You bring lots of people laughs pixipixil, including me.
By the way, do you know how to tuna fish? You run you fingers up and down the scales.

That's one I'll share with my husband. Brilliant! It's nao time so I don't want to wake myself up by thinking too hard. Be back at you tonight.

I will look forward to it.

Okay, I'm ready now, Parson. You must have gone to a school for funny fish tails (tales). It was a whale of a funny riddle so why am I blubbering? Because if I laugh really hard I always start to cry.
I shoal like to laugh hard anyway.

You have outdone yourself this time, and I'm not making fin of you. Trout to not rupture your brain by thinking too hard. If you did, I'm sure it will eel in time.

If I don't get water on the brain. Well tanks for the tete-atete. Guess I'll clam up now.

It's all for a good claws.

I find your postings uplifting and amusing. Please keep it up

I enjoy your quotes and jokes and have not been offended by any of them.

I enjoy reading your post each day and certainly have never been offended by any of the quotes that you have included. Keep up the good work.

Aussie don't know what is going on, but can't believe anyone would complain about your quotes. You can tell there is a lot of thought put into them and they are always up lifting and I myself have gotten some wonderful laughs from them, although have awoken my hubby more than once lol! Keep posting your quotes and jokes and if someone doesn't like them they don't have to read your posts. Thank you Aussie you are a wonderful, loving person. Take care and be safe.

No problem on my end! :)

I love your quotes, they often lift my spirits and speak directly to my situation. I feel sorry for whoever felt they had to be "offended" by them; either they have no problems--or quite a few.
Stay strong and smiling!

Aussie, you haven't ever offended. My comment about Hale's quote was nothing more than an effort to point out that some quotes require one to think about them. The idea that being shut out of something is always God's will, which is what I took Hale's quote to mean, would mean that blackballing someone was in God's plan. What about knock and it shall be opened unto you? There's a clear indication that closed doors are not always in God's plan.
Don't worry so much. Keep posting. You are the most complimented, loved person on this site so I can't understand why my little comment has been so upsetting.
I'm sorry I can't always be the upbeat, agreeable poster so many on here are. That's just my personality. Can't help it. I hope when I don't agree all the time it doesn't upset everyone else the way this seems to have affected you. Be at peace. There's room for us all.

I LOVE the quotes each day. Even If I would disagree with a quote one day, it makes me think, which can be quite painful, because I don't do that too often. lol

Aussie I don't believe you have upset anyone! Your quotes and jokes are wonderful. I've shared them with my mom and both of us have laughed. Thank goodness there are people who still try to make others feel better in this crazy world. That goes to everyone on this site. I love this site because of all of you on here. You keep on sharing and be who you are because you are a beautiful person! Hugs to you and all!!!!

Aussie-you were my inspiration to sign up for this chat...your thoughtful comments made me look everyday for your words of wisdom. xo BayGrannie from Rhode Island!

Please keep posting your quotes - I really enjoy them.

I love the quotes and if someone gets offended, then they either have no sense of humor, or just like to complain about about something. I thought we were a fun-loving group who supported each other, whether through faith, jokes, or using a quote to help uplift others.
If I were you Miss Aussie, I would just keep doing what you are doing unless the administrator on here says otherwise.We will defend you no matter what. After all, that is what friends are for. Love you and do not worry about it. Love you from afar.

Aussie, you have never offended me with your quotes - in fact, several of them have been bulls-eye accurate at the time. You keep posting!

I do a lot of mystery puzzles everyday, and the first thing I look for is your posting! I truly enjoy them, and even share some of them on my facebook page. Keep it up! We'd all really miss them, I'm sure.

Thank you - I really appreciate all of you and your encouragement. May God bless you in ways you would never expect. Hugs.

Adding my two cents, I love your quotes and often find they're just what I need to hear for that day. Keep up the great work!

Pixipixil I am not an upbeat, agreeable poster all the time as I am sure no one on this site is. There is an old saying " If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all" This site is very special it is a place of love, support and fun. It is not a place for negative hurtful thoughts. Oh before I forget everyone be safe out there.

You know, darambo, this is nothing but nonsense.
Did you even read my initial response to the Hale posting? There was nothing nasty in it and I have said nothing nasty to anyone. I think it's a shame you have jumped to that conclusion.

Please aussie, keep up the quotes and jokes. I love them as well. You have helped us so much with your wise quotes as well as your little jokes. Bless you for everything that you bring to this site. Grammy Hugs.

Thank you goof, posting them helps me in lots of ways too. I miss my daughter and her family - she has not spoken to me in four years and of course it has now been a year since the other disaster in my life. Just wonder how long it is before the pain subsides. But people like you on here always give me the lift I need. Hugs.

They may lessen with time, but mine is still with me. I just learned to bury it and concentrate on the now. Just lean a little more on Jesus. It does help.

For the most part goof, that is what I do - it works sometimes. I have two grandchildren who are growing up quickly. The boy is 15 and the girl will be 17 in December and I do miss not having anything to do with them. Thank you for your encouragement and advice. Loving hugs.

Aussie, you are a gem. Your quotes are something I seek out daily after I play a puzzle. The other puzzler just isn't as positive a person as you, but you both are wonderful people.

Retirenow - I appreciate your lovely thoughts and thank you for your encouragement. Hugs.

Aussie, your quotes and posts brighten my life! I feel encouraged and uplifted whenever you post something! I don't think you are capable of offending anyone!

Thank you olamae, I just like to treat others as I would like to be treated. Hugs.

As do I Aussie! God bless you and keep you! Hugs!

Thank you retirenow for understanding and still liking me. You are a wonderful person.

I haven't made soup in years and sometimes really miss it.
A friend just gave me some parsley and sage and I have half a chicken in the fridge. Time to make soup!

Sounds like a soup-er idea. I made some more salsa this week. I enjoy using the food from my garden to preserve food for this winter. That makes me feel more chip-per.

:) PW - as a cook, I make a good poet lol. But I have been having moderate success with a raised garden bed I bought for my husband to try to encourage him to garden. It is now mine lol and I have had great success with lettuce, bought a punnet of mixed lettuce and the one I like the best is the cos variety. I also have a tomato plant that has gone berserk, think if I stand still long enough it will grow on me. They are a little bigger than the cherry tomatoes and there must be about 50 of them right now waiting to ripen. I also have an egg plant in there and while I love the vegetable it is a particularly vicious plant with lot of not so lovely thorns hidden throughout it. I am now handling it with tongs and have several flowers which I hope will soon turn into egg plants. My flower garden thrives in spite of my best efforts lol. Hugs PW - you are a blessing.

I had a Morning Glory growing wild in my garden. I waited until afternoon to pull it out. That sounds almost like a chicken when I say "pull it".

If you hadn't pointed that out I'd be scratching my head to figure it. Hen-ceforth I'll be more observant.

Just don't use any fowl language when you do.
