Get over yourself. People can talk about their own bodies however they want regardless of how it makes you or others feel. If she wants to lose weight and the weight is negatively impacting her life, then no, it isn't okay.
Congrats on your 100th issue! Getting a VitaMix literally eliminated the need to add any cream to any soup. It is a tool that transforms the texture of soups and sauces. Your tips were the gem of this soup newsletter! Totally agree on aromatics and technique. Personally I like to avoid having to peel and chop butternut, honeynut, squash etc and I slice in half and roast then scoop and add to the sauteed leeks, onions etc for the soup. Plus I'm always roasting pumpkins (when available) for the dogs!
Making squash and cauliflower soup for dinner tonight! Can’t wait! Congratulations on your 100th issue! Looking forward to 100’s more!!! (And your new cookbook!)
Thank you for all the tips on soup making. As soon as I finished reading this newsletter I run into the kitchen to rummage in the fridge vegetable drawer to make a soup for dinner!
Yes the recipe is for a single layer cake. If you want a tall cake, like the one in the top photo make 2 8-inch cakes (but make sure you have deeper pans). You can also make an 8 or 9-inch cake and split and fill it (as pictured near the bottom of the post). The captions have all the info on the variations. I'd recommend splitting after baking, but if you want to bake two thin cakes I'd start testing with a toothpick after 15 minutes.
Susan,
It's okay to gain weight, and it's even okay if you don't lose the weight. Enjoy the cookies and all the fruits of your labor.
True! Thank you.
(And please remember that comments lamenting your own weight gain can affect many of your readers who are living in larger bodies.)
I meant no offense to anyone, but thanks for that feedback!

You're welcome! Happy soup-making!
Is the chocolate cake recipe for a single layer cake? Could I divide the mix into two pans and if so how long should I cook them?
