I am wary of 'farm raised seafood' which is best farm raised or wild

painturguy @painturguy (177) • United States 25 Jan 07

Do you cook soup often?

Diana @dya80dya (36774) 25 Nov 23

We love soup. It's a healthy meal. We can't afford to buy food and eat it in a restaurant. It is too expensive and it's much cheaper to make it at home. But it takes a lot of time. My mom cooks soup in four hours. I wouldn't have...
