You know I'm all about the missed connections.
These are so lovely...

a letter to mah soulmate on The Other Coast
So, I had an awesome day, you know, learnin' and bein' snobby and all. College roxxx. This is a visual map of my day:
Pilates with hella perky instructor who spoke with her hands so much it kinda looked like intuitive sign language--->sobbed at Life Changing House episode----> bought hella cheap swag at AA trunk show, am now shamelessly wearing leggings as pants with indecently sheer burnout tee--->made soup while dancing to Belle and Sebastian and Blue Scholars----> ....talking to you via teh internets.....
Yeah. In between that were some classes, I guess.
And I'm so proud of my mastery at soup-making (IT'S LIKE THE ONLY THING I HAVE CONTROL OVER IN MY LIIIIIFE) that I decided to show you how I do:
ARIEL'S CANDID CANNOLI SOUP (it's candid cuz it's improvised?)
Ingredients (amounts totally depend on how much you're gonna make):
olive oil
fresh tomatoes
garlic yeaaah
veggie broth (from powder or in carton, doesn't matter)
cannoli beans
spinach (I used frozen, except my freezer doesn't freeze, so it was really more like fresh anyway.... kind of)
green beans
noodles (or pasta, since we're so culturally sensitive)
salt n' peppa
random "Italian" spices?
1. chop those tomatoes, stick them in the bottom of a pan in some olive oil. chop the garlic as large/small as you like it, add to pan. salt. (hahaha I mean, I kind of salt whenever I feel like it, because I'm addicted.) let it simmer (or saute?) for as long as you FEEL that it needs to become empowered. i.e. until it makes a beautiful orangey-olive-oily-spicy liquid with chunks of broken down tomatoes.
2. add yer broth. dump the cannolis, green beans, spinach and noodles into that. add yer spices. make it pretty hot (kinda boiling-ish) so the noodles cook.
3. PLATE THAT SHIT! salt, pepper, a fine grating of imported parmesan, basil, you know, whatever you feeeeel. toast some toast, it's really good to dip bread into, because the broth is so basic and kind of thin.
love.
