Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sigh. I made the best bread of my life today, and I will never make it again because it was one of those "Oh, CRAP I forgot I was almost out of bread flour: throw every grain I can find in until it adds up to 500g" creations.

Fucking hippie bread is going to turn me into fucking Proust.

I basically have used mine only for apple crisp and pickles, but it is worth it.

Punishingly Intricate

I made mushroom soup from the Ad Hoc at Home cookbook and it took a million hours but is very tasty. And there is a ton of it and an another ton of mushroom stock now in the freezer. I also made a delicious salad with roasted beets and got the vinaigrette recipe and crouton recipe from the Ad Hoc book. It's definitely for cooking on a day off.

You gonna out mushroom soup the mushroom people at the market? I always want to get stuff from them, but then, I don't really cook much.

It's been a long time since I've had theirs but I think this one was more complicated and hearty! I used some of their 'shrooms in it. Also some morels that we picked last May in Michigan.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

mushroom soup sounds wonderful.

In unrelated food news, I ate too much bean soup. It was nummy, but my innards are telling me I'm going to regret it.

Tell me about this mushroom soup, lisah. What's the basic notion of the recipe?

Mushrooms plus lisah-does-work equals awesome?

Huh. For the second night in a row, I've felt inexplicably awful. Last night I was a bit faint and queasy, tonight my head and neck hurt, plus the queasy is back. So odd. And it's hit at the exact same time in the evening.
