So I thought I would commemorate today with a posting of some cute little foodstuffs I’ve made recently.
At the WestSide Market in Ohio City, I bought a bunch of asparagus yesterday. I always get asparagus because I love, love, love asparagus soup. It’s one of my favorite soups to make (and eat) along with roasted red pepper soup, but that’s a story for another day. Basically, this soup involves boiling a small onion, a bunch of asparagus, and a medium potato in approximately 4 cups of water and a cube of bouillon (veggie bouillon, of course) until all the vegetables are a soggy mess. Then blend it with a couple of spoonfuls of plain yogurt and pepper. Then, strain it (I got a brand new strainer last week that I was so excited to try out!) and slurp it up. I garnished it with a little too much cilantro, but it looks pretty :)
Since I’m into this new fad of making my food look yummy, I decided to make this. I sliced up a zucchini, put a dollop of plain yogurt on top, and sprinkled salt and “Italian seasoning” on the yogurt. It ended up looking really cute and tasting delicious. I love-love-love using yogurt as a starter for dip – much healthier than sour cream (and plain yogurt tastes so good).
Another thing about this Sunday: I spent approximately 4 hours today reading Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, the love story of the Pioneer Woman. Oh gosh. So romantic. Much better than a Harlequin romance (not that I've ever read one...)
Where is my Marlboro man?
Where is his shiny gun?
Where is my lone ranger?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
