Scaled-Down U.S. Senate Bean Soup, p. 2 
    (For the U.S. Senate Bean Soup, 
       also add 1/8 tsp. black pepper.
     In addition to that, I like to add 
       a little salt, 
       Tabasco, and 
       Wright's Liquid Smoke. 
     Also, 
       a little L. B. Jamison's Ham Flavored Soup Base 
     to go with the 6 ounces diced ham would be good in it.)
    (Has anyone tried this recipe yet?  I would love to hear your comments. . . .
     Yes, half a dozen times.  In fact we actually got to try it in the Senate Restaurant in DC 
     and it's very similar.  Our youngest son worked there several different times and liked
     this soup. . . . I made a batch for him and he liked it too.  Hope you enjoy it as much as
     we do.)
    ([This] is the greatest.  Makes a large pot and smells so good.  I always look for good bean 
     soup recipes like this one.  Enjoy.)
    (If you have [this cookbook], please try [this].  It too is very good.) 
    (I added a 8 oz. can of tomato sauce.)
    (Dennis made [a new soup] for us, [and he] added some liquid smoke and some powdered onion &
     garlic, white pepper, and thyme, the soup was fabulous. - [this soup])
    (*****  This is one that we had last winter and loved it and served it on several different 
     occasions.  This soup is very filling and satisfying as a main dish.  If you wish you can 
     start out with a small salad, [then] the soup, and top it off with Apple Crisp.)
    (This was so good.  We had some leftover ham, that we froze, and used in this soup.  This is 
     a soup to be served on bone chilling days, which we had on the 3rd week of December in 
     Western Ontario Canada.)  
    (I know we had this last year, but oh, I had forgotten how great this tasted on a chilly day. 
     We also sent leftovers over to our oldest daughter, as she was working late.  She also 
     mentioned how it hit the spot for such a chilly night.)

Tropical Pleasure Pie, p. 
    ([This] is the GREATEST!!  As my husband said in the quote "MMMM , this smells 
     like a vacation!!!")
