26. 2 Pinned threads are enough I think.

After that, perhaps sub-threads.

Well, for instance, I would not want a soup thread pinned to the top.

Speaking of soup..............

A spring/summer variation of split pea soup follows. Although this in no way replaces ALL-DAY split pea soup, it's not bad for a 17-minute version (no ham).

Fresh Pea Soup
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 12 Minutes
Ready In: 17 Minutes

"This classic French soup made with fresh peas and shallots comes together in a snap!"
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
2 cups water

3 cups fresh shelled green peas
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons whipping cream (optional)
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook the shallots until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Pour in the water and peas, season to taste with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the peas are tender, 12 to 18 minutes.
2. Puree the peas in a blender or food processor in batches. Strain back into the saucepan, stir in the cream if using, and reheat. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Read reviews at the link to tweak this up. For instance, use thawed frozen peas, and use chicken bouillon or broth, not water and there's more at the link.
