My local sandwich shop does a soup of the week and this week it was cream of mushroom. They take a soup down if it doesn't sell well so I'm guessing people do.

I would regularly eat cream of mushroom soup from one of my favorite coffee shops, though I'd never eat it from a can unless I'm very hungry and too lazy to go to a 24hr McDonald's. I think the canned cream of soups are almost always made into a sauce/casserole. Real cream of mushroom is awesome, actually. But cream, salt and umami is generally great.

OK, so revised question, who's eating the Campbell's cream of Mushroom soup? As just soup and not making using it to make a casserole?

I like to imagine the tins you kept seeing at the donation bank were all brought in by disappointed TCC posters.

I have eaten Campbell's cream of mushroom soup with a grilled cheese and it was pretty okay.

Mushroom soup is good with saltine crackers crumbled in.

Yeah, but was that because you wanted to eat cream of mushroom soup with a grilled cheese, or was it because you were out of chicken noodle and tomato soup, and the can of Cream of Mushroom was the only thing in the house?

I would eat cream of mushroom over tomato, because tomato soup is terrible. That said, I've never bought either.

It's nice as dinner if you're sick and can't deal with making real food. Throw some crackers in there too

I have some old Video8 tapes, and I've been tasked with digitizing them. I ended up buying an old Sony Handcam from eBay and a KWorld DVD maker that takes the composite input. It works well, but the quality is poo poo. Am I right in assuming that because the tapes are magnetic and not film, little if nothing can be done to get a noticeably better quality through a method other than my Handycam solution?

What happened to my stove? I was boiling water and all of a sudden huge sparks and fire start spewing from the heating element. I run over and turn it off and it stops but it melted a hole in my pot, and melted the heating coils. http://imgur.com/a/4idSf

Your stovetop decided it was tired of being a mundane kitchen appliance, and decided to become an arc welder.

Try the Canopus ADVC 100 (or anything from the ADVC line). They are available used (eBay), if you buy it at a decent price and use it for a while, you can probably sell it again for that same price.

The element cracked and all the energy being pumped into the coil went to the cracked spot, causing sparks and damaged cookware. I think the elements just get old and need to be replaced. Can't tell if yours cracked though. Coils are super easy to replace, though, so hopefully that's all it is.

I don't like it but Campbell's prints serving instructions for CoM soup as a standalone thing right on the label, it's a soup and you can stir it up with some milk and have a gross old people meal. It's not the best but it def aint just a casserole ingredient. I am allowed to abbreviate it as CoM as I have eaten it as a soup more than twice but less than five times in my life.

It also happened in my parents', but it was the oven element rather than a burner, and it practically lit the entire appliance on fire. They ended up getting a whole new range, but that was partly just because theirs was ancient. So yeah, just an old coil burning out, sort of like a light bulb burning out but on a much higher energy scale. RIP that pot, get a new element. Maybe get all new elements just in case the others are on the verge of failing too?

Jewel Repetition posted:What's a Poe? 1. Refer's to Poe's Law. "Poe's law is an Internet adage which states that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, parodies of extreme views will be mistaken by some readers or viewers for sincere expressions of the parodied views" So a Poe is a parody. 2. I missed it on my first read-through that the Kewpuh they were ripping on was the SA mod. I...don't know why they are doing that.

Does anyone have any experience buying large appliances (Fridge/freezer, washing machine) on Amazon? Moving to the UK for a minimum of two years, and the place I'm moving to does not have anything but an oven, and I don't want to put out a ton of money on appliances if I leave in 2-3 years. Do they install the appliance as well? What do you do with the old appliances when you move? Any advice is appreciated

I have a woven blanket that looks something like this:  No tag, no idea what it's made of; am I likely okay to wash it cold, delicate, and tumble dry on the lowest setting?

You should be able to if it's wool or synthetic. That said, err on the side of caution and hand wash cold in your utility basin and hang dry as stated above.

Tiggum posted:Where are you moving from where houses normally come with fridges and washing machines as part of the deal? In America most people don't bother going to the effort of moving such major appliances between houses and apartments, even if they'd been the one who bought them. As a result, even the odd case of an apartment or rental home that didn't come with a fridge when the first person moved in will have one there when they move out. Having an in-unit washer/dryer is less common, but definitely not unheard of if there's room and hookups for them present, though such spaces will frequently be left empty at places with cheap rent.

Family member died and left me pretty much everything He was a big sports collector and I found a stack of cards carefully packed away. I have no clue who these guys are or if any of them are valuable. Where can I find out what I have?

Fauxtool posted:Family member died and left me pretty much everything They are likely not worth much of anything (especially the one you have 9 copies of, one graded, none apparently signed) You can check eBay, look up each player name, the back of the card should have a year and a manufacturer name. So it looks like you have a1990 Frank Thomas from Leaf, if I'm reading that one right. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Frank-Thomas-1990-Leaf-RC-PSA-10-/121951002570?hash=item1c64d89fca:g:RrwAAOSwy5ZXCaLc - Still probably won't get that for it, but it might be worth more than a buck or two. Take them into a sports collectables shop and see if they are worth anything. You might be better off holding on to them for sentimental value. If you have none of that, you would probably get less than $20 for everything I see.
