I know what you mean when you say that each time it gets better; there are some foods that do follow this rule. Love the bit of pumpkin seasoning added too. This soup sounds both nutritious and very tasty, Donna, especially with all the spices that it contains! Thanks for the recipe. This is a great time of year to make hot soup. I am not a vegetarian either. Well maybe part time, but I don't think that counts. Thanks for the read, how2read. I'm not a vegetarian but the pictures sure make me hungry. You got this carrot lover's ear (and appetite). Thanks for the read,Bill. No worries, my hubby wouldn't eat it either. Donna, the best I can promise is that I will pass this one to Bev.

It鈥檚 not the only geeky feature I found unexpectedly rewarding. 1,150 Multimedia package - floats turn-by-turn directions over a real-time view of the road ahead, and proved surprisingly helpful when trying to figure my way through unfamiliar routes. Sadly it can鈥檛 actually project those AR directions onto the windshield, but it鈥檚 not hard to imagine a future version that might. If it wasn鈥檛 already clear, I was far more impressed than I expected to be by the 2019 A-Class. My suspicion had been that it would be a fairly calculated car, effectively a way to lure new owners to the brand but then quickly propel them up the ladder to more expensive models. Instead, I find myself asking whether it could actually steal a few entry-level C-Class sales. If you want the Mercedes badge, and the styling, and the luxury tech interior, but don鈥檛 actually need all the rear space of the larger sedan, there鈥檚 a lot to recommend this smaller, nimble car. Sure enough you can send its price spiraling up if you go heavy-handed on the options, but demonstrate a little restraint and you can still get a decently-equipped sedan at a fraction of the price of Mercedes鈥?larger cars. That鈥檒l teach me to be so cynical.
