can anyone help me find the Dream Soup recipe i posted here a couple months ago? the one with quinoa and crab meat. p.s. everything i post here makes me feel like a jackass. |
note: every ingredient i used was certified organic, except for the crab meat. if you're vegan, you could subsitite crab with diced baked tofu and vegetable broth for chicken stock, which would probably be yummy, but wasn't in the recipe in my dream. in my dream it was crab meat and chicken broth. Dream Soup Ingredients: 1 tbs safflower oil 4 1/4" slices fresh ginger root 3 green onions 4 cloves garlic, finely diced 8 cups (or 4 cans) chicken broth - i used all natural chicken broth made from free range chickens 2-3 cups water 1-2 large carrots, sliced like little half moons 2 cups fresh green beans, cut into 1/2"-3/4" pieces 5-6 small celery stalks, sliced 1 can fancy white crab meat salt pepper 2 bay leaves 1 tbs dried basil 1 cup quinoa, rinsed thoroughly or soaked for 30 minutes in warm water 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro juice of half a lime Directions: in a large pot, saute green onions and ginger root in oil for a couple minutes. add garlic and cook for just a minute or so on low heat, making sure it doesn't get brown. if the pan gets too hot, add a little chicken broth and let it simmer for a few minutes. add chicken broth, water, green beans, and crab meat, basil, bay leaves, and salt and pepper to taste. cover the pot and bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to medium simmer. add celery and carrots. cook on low heat for about 10 minutes. add quinoa, cilantro, and lime juice. cook until quinoa seeds soften and open up, about 15 minutes. serve hot with pork chops and homemade pumpkin bread pudding for dessert. now you help me. lately my modem has started spontaneously to turn itself off. it's not a power drain or anything like that - nothing else goes off. it's just like the off switch had been flicked off by some unseen hand. this is the same modem i've had since 1998, so it's probably just dying. |

it wasnt dreamy. it was spicy, too spicy for some of my pussy guests, roasted pepper soup. roast 3 red peppers (i used 1 yellow, orange and red) roast 1 pablano (i used cerrano) pepper i used my broiler until each side was black. threw them in a ziploc for 5, ran them under cold water and peeled the skin. dice 1 leek (green and white part) and 2 shallots. sautee until clear in 2 tbls spoons of oil. disect and deseed all the peppers. dice. throw half the red peppers and all of the cerrano pepper in with the leek and shallot. sautee for 5 add 4 cups of chicken stock 1 tomato quartered 2tblspoons of fresh thyme, de-stemmed 1 tble spoon of pepper simmer for 1/2 hour add rest of peppers, salt. puree to desired consistancy. serve the bitch up. i made it too spicy. used 3 cerrano peppers instead of one pablano. i thought it was delic though....the kind of good spicy you end up chowing down on, and paying for it moments after the bowl is done. |
it came from our Surreal Gourmet book. |
you invited cats over? how sweet. How come my cat didn't get an invite? |
|
i made a soup for guests recently, except i think i put too many beans in it. it was good, though. i got the recipe from the stranger, but i can't find it now. it had black beans and roasted butternut squash and garlic and jalapenos and tomatoes and kale and some other stuff in it, and it sounds really horrendous, but it was good. |
they need not be heavy or hearty, just powerful with flavor. this mexican restaurant we go to quite a bit serves a soup with you order an entree. Its usually lentil, carrot, corn or split pea. simple simple soups, not much more than a broth but with such a flavor, you get the sense they've been simmering all day. |

i feel your pain, especially when it comes to the fact that public transportation essentially caused you to miss your test, waste $100, and the subsequent stress. somebody should pay for that. |
not sure what happens now, i guess there's always next year. |
the $105, or was it the deadline thing? |
|
poor spunky. dope slap. |
|
|
its not like you're dealing with Bank of America here. Its an public education institution and she just happened to get screwed over by the public transportation system. She just wants to take a god damn test. |
Then, turn a gigantic laser onto the college board (or whoever it is doing the gres now), and vaporize them. |
im speculating what happened but i think it was when i sent the wrong payments to the wrong parties. i sent my car payment to the DMV for my car registration. the problem wasn't uncovered until a month later of which was worked out with the auto loan bank, no problemo, all late charges removed, honest mistake, customer for more than 10 years no big deal, i even got a letter saying, "out of good faith and the honest nature of this, we are removeing all late charges upon receipt of this make up payment". Apparently its against the law in CA to send someone to collections without written notice, which we never received and no one is answering the phone at this shady collections agency. Fucking monolithic beaurocratic bullshit credit institution. Otherwise our credit is flawless. Thats the ONLY thing stopping the bank from issuing a small business loan. Like dave, i want to fuck some shit up. |
|
And I would check the deathinthefamily box for you. |
|
it's too late for the death in the family thing, i already made such a scene with the actual true story that it wouldn't work at this point. one more thing: patrick, collection agencies are balls out evil. pure and unadulterated wrongness. good luck with that. one more: dave, good stir fry. kick ass, even. |
|
than wiling to help out with the fee... |
|
Anyway, Agatha, I feel your pain. That truly bites. It's like a job requirement for people in academic test administration to be unapologetic bastards, and I hope UW gets back to you soon, and that the person on the phone with you is sensible and kind. |
I get better service from DMV. |
|
Quack! Quack!! |
|
i tried smacking it repeatedly into my palm, sandwiching it between 2 powerful magnets for a couple of days and applying the current from a car battery to various inputs but the thing just would not die. 3 seconds on high in the microwave will destroy a digital camera. now, i have one of these. happy b-day to me! |

happy damned birthday to you, nate. enjoying the saturn return? mine was fucking smashing. |
|
it was a great day, yes. i have yet to be phased by the age i turn, which is alright by me. what does dave. do on his birthday? especially, is the absence of alcohol present yet? |
|
you were clear, nate. i was referring to this bunch of bs. my birthday was pretty ok except for everyone trying to make me have a good birthday. "are we having fun yet?" "yes, this is great!" some people came down from seattle and we went out for pho. then i rented and watched jay and silent bob suck cock and the first ½ hour of tomb raider. agatha gave me pie and i went to bed. yeah, j. it's been some 22 days since i've smoked or dranked. i can't see any thing positive resulting from any of this yet except maybe saving some cash but i'm still fucking broke so what the fuck difference does any of it make? i have been more prone to blanking out into what might be fugue states but they're full of rage so i don't know if they could be accurately called fugues. i'll check for the card, j. thanks! |
