Hey dudes, I just have to say that this soup ranks among some of the very great joys in my life currently. I made a big batch of it on Sunday and I have been eating it all week! Several friends have been over to taste it as well, and I think everyone can agree that it is pretty stellar.

One tiny tiny change I would make is using low-sodium stock instead of bouillon mix, then add salt as needed--it was a little too salty for me. But that's a matter of opinion.

Also, proof that I spend far too much time around students

Co-worker (re. some pumpkins): Those are enormous! They can't be natural.
Me: That's what he said!
Co-worker: What?
Me: Nothing.

I am posty today

Dear Stephen Harper,

I find your recent remarks to the Canadian Polish Congress extremely revealing of your attitude towards the First Nations of Canada.

Your characterization of Aboriginal people as "new Canadians," i.e. immigrants, and your suggestion that they came here "from a far-off land," betrays the fact that you don't really believe Indigenous people have any real right to the land of their ancestors.

This makes your government's consistently ignoring the issues of Aboriginal communities less baffling, if somewhat more profoundly disappointing.

Not that this matters, since I wasn't actually going to vote for you anyway, but just now I find you thoroughly disgusting. Even more so than usual.
