Some days, I make roasts and soups and complex, layered sauces, all from scratch. Other days, I make soup out of two avocados blended together with half a jar of tomatillo salsa and topped with a can of crab.
What kind of day do you think today was?
Honestly, the soup was really good. Ripe avocados, good quality salsa, sweet-tasting crabmeat. It was even pretty, if you don’t mind green. I cannot, however, pretend that it was Cuisine. Or A Recipe. It was just good. And it was fast and filling, and I don’t regret eating it at all.
I should probably be happy that I didn’t fall asleep with my face in it, though.
(And yes, what you heard on the news was correct: it is actually -2 degrees, my car doors are frozen shut, and it was so freezing at work that I still can’t feel my feet. For reasons unknown to mankind, however, I am eating a cold soup. Not ice cream, though. Both of those things together would be taking things MUCH too far. Instead I made coconut-kahlua hot chocolate. From scratch).
