Houfemate Sterling and I decided to make soup for dinner, and are working more-or-less off a recipe, but adding and subtracting things according to the box'o'veggies we have. This gives me an idea: invite a half-dozen people over. Tell each to bring enough calories to feed himself in "something you would enjoy in soup." Tell them not to discuss this with each other. Have spices, a stockpot or three, and some foods on hand. See what shows up, apply heat and water and spices, possibly batching according to what would be terrible in combination. Voila: stone soup!
Ours is becoming: chicken, shallots, escarole, carrots, pasta, and egg, plus spices of the white pepper, oregano, coriander, lemon and salt variety. Hopefully it will not be terrible!
EDIT: oh hey I haven't posted anything about life in a while. Grad school...goes. In future, fewer classes. I have an interesting new research project, so that will be fun when I have time to work on it. Houfemates continue excellent. Life is wonderful, and precious.
