sweet potato soup...

roast sweet potatoes.
peel. dice.

dice an onion, put it in a waiting pot with olive oil. salt that shit. add sweet potato.
this is where it gets gross.
add water/any kind of stock (beef preferably), and then a tablespoon or so of TOMATO PASTE and like 1/4 cup of MUSHROOM GRAVY.
ok back to normal.
umm a tsp or so of nutmeg (whole, grated if you are a douche like me!), more so of cayenne pepper..probably wont need any salt because of all the salt in those gross things already added.

bring to a boil, simmer for as long as you can stand it. blend well. oh then add 1/2 cup or so of sour cream and a tbsp or so of butter.
THE END.


it is one of my favourite soups that i have made.

LET'S PRETEND WE'RE IN ANTARCTICA. (what?).

ok last night for dinner, i (with a bit of help from tyler he dealt with the noodles!) made some asian-y cold noodle salad. ugh.
boil some rice noodles, put them in an ice bath to stop cooking/cool them off.
chop up carrots, cucumber, celery, whatever you want really..julienne them. that's what i mean...long and thin!
dress the noodles with some kind of dressing, duh. i got lazy and just used some sesame ginger stuff from a bottle. who am i kidding it's not just 'stuff' it's NEWMAN'S OWN. god i love that man's salad dressing. the end.

ok now i have a crush on paul newman. i did not know that.

missed the boat

today, ok fine, YESTERDAY i made some kind of vegetable paneer curry THING.

saute an onion, some garlic, add a can of diced/crushed tomatoes, oh fresh ginger too...
this is where it gets really crazy and you add every spice you have: tumeric, mustard seeds, nutmeg, cinnamon, garam masala, cumin, hmmm what else...just some generic 'curry powder' in case you missed something..ok maybe that's all the spices...oh salt! and honey so it's not bitter tasting..
then i added cauliflower and peas and paneer and butter.
the end.
oh also make some rice (jasmine or basmati) and eat it on top of that.
now the end.
ps: let the curry cook as long as you can stand smelling the delicious smell and not eating it. regardless, it will taste EVEN BETTER tomorrow if you can believe that.

it may or may not have looked something like this.

is this going to be all about food?

probs should've been from the start.....

ok i made delicious mushroom soup with onions (obv), garlic, a mix of beans...god that's just about it...lots of fresh thyme, oregano, a bit of red wine....blend it a bit...the end...oh salt and pepper...serve with a dab of butter on top..mmmm.

very ORGANIC and NATURAL-LOOKING and it basically cured me of any technology-related disease i might have had you know? cleansed.

today

i made the yuppy-est lunch ever. smoothie with banana, strawberries, plain yogurt, honey and cinnamon because spices are soooo good for you. 'expensive sandwich' on this wonky olive bread with hummus, ALFALFA SPROUTS, cucumber, green onion and mustard. oh, and one piece of leftover sushi. im not even kidding.



i dont think it will make it into the diarrhea log, but it was still annoying.

hai

today i made (started) a 'diarhhea log'. im going to write down what foods i ate any time i have diarhhea to hopefully self-diagnose ('diagnose'looks so wrong but i assure you and myself that it's not), what irrates my stomach.
the end.
