CSA Catch-up (not catsup)

hrjSpent the evening getting caught up with the CSA veggies. I made a batch each (i.e., 4 servings each) of broccoli soup, carrot-mango-ginger soup, leek-potato soup, and turnips au gratin. Still 4 assorted winter sqashes to go, but they'll keep as is.
I had a very enjoyable weekend at World Fantasy Con, hanging out with klwilliams, acanthusleaf, Ann whose lj handle I don't know, and assorted friends thereof. Today I took thread_walker out to lunch to celebrate my bonus/performance award. Tomorrow is dinner with nedlnthred and friends tbd.
The DSL connection has been non-functional since the 29th, but it'll be a couple more days before I'll have the mental bandwidth to try to get the phone company out to work on it. If things go true to form, this means I will find that it's started working again when I get home tomorrow evening. One cannot conduct a fully functional online life via iPhone -- although it's quite the sanity crutch.

Date: 2009-11-06 03:59 am (UTC)The recipe is my standard veggie soup one: Prepare the vegetable into small, clean chunks (i.e., wash, pare or trim if necessary, cut into chunks), simmer in fat-free broth of your choice until tender. If necessary, add more broth to process. Blend until pureed. Season to taste. In this case, the last item was "add in a generous sprinkle of ginger" and "add in the flesh of the mango that was starting to go soft in the produce drawer".
I find that mostly I don't tend to have "recipes" so much as I have "templates". The rest is a function of what's lying around needing to be used or what strikes me on the whim of the moment.
