Gazpacho soup and a papadum. And (gulp) faster than lens-speed, a brownie.
Is this how foodies think: Pass the Cultural Capital, Please?
Had another go at the gazpacho by adding more tomatoes, cucumbers, water and chives proportionally, and pureeing half. Cooked tomato of sauce had too much sugar and salt. The egg white flat noodles were tossed with cooked red onions, fennel and zucchini.
Vegetarian summer rolls. Love how they vary. It’s still local ingredients so dried fried onion crunch is in there but later in season when mint finally comes back around, there’ll be more of that.
Rice noodle vegetable pho (foreground) and sweet and sour soup (back there). I’m not 100% sure about that pho stock being vegetable […]
Hub made a soup — carrots, parsnips, onion, turnips, celery, thyme, oregano and the dry soup base of barley, lentil, alphabet pasta, etc.
Oat/whole wheat bread with the soup.
Bob’s Red Mill Soup
Added to the lentil, barley and alphabet, etc, were parsnip, carrot, mushroom, celery and some italian spices.
Mushroom cous cous, stew and spinach in the remaining clean dish of the house, a platter.
In take 3 of corn stew, I made a new base of celery, golden delicious apples, pearl onions, mushroom and boiled that down and added vodka cream tomato sauce to a frozen batch of corn soup.
Same soup, sorta. It seems like the corn hardened and shrunk while immersed in broth. (Is that possible?) All the corn sorted out and boiled another hour. It’s good to go again, with yogurt, cilantro, lime and pita.
