New soup, new element, resist!

Today, glumly wondering what to make for lunch, I took a look in the small freezer, the fridge one, where I put leftovers and future soup makings.

Found


The salted milk I poached the cod in, and the rest of the crushed tomatoes from a tomcheese bake.


Big handful of red onions, umami seasoning, cumin,  garlic, no salt because both the milk and the tomatoes already had salt.

Simmered for quite a while, maybe half an hour, then blended,  and finally added in the last chunks of cod.

Dill thrown on, and this easy shortcut turned out to be good enough it should have a fancy name. Bouillabaisse is already taken, hm. 

While I think, and invite your naming participation, here's a thing


I was talking about designer bookcases today online with an artist friend, both of us wondering why you'd have a whole big bookcase and put three curated items in it.

I have a couple crammed with books, then there's this 

As you see, the Dollivers and their dogs,  in their retirement home, upstairs from various materials involved in making.  Not designer fodder.




Happy day everyone! Resist. And those of us with privilege, let's use it for good.

  1. Now that the bookshelves in my computer room no longer hold a lot of books (since I can now only read e-books), they've become a depository for junk of all descriptions. I really need to sort, cull and tidy them up.

    1. True, empty shelves tend to attract sll kinds of unlikely stuff as long as it fits. When it starts falling off is when I decide I need to address it.

  2. Our living room shelves get cluttered despite my best efforts to keep them tidy. The kids games, art supplies etc have to go somewhere.

    1. Sometimes you just have to say well, they're not on the floor to trip over, anyway!

  3. Anyone who has a designer bookcase (and what is that?) with three curated items on it should come to their senses and give it to someone who needs a place to put books.
    That's my opinion.
    As for the soup- How about Pleasing Soup With Many Fine Ingredients?
    Probably not.

  4. No sure what you would call the soup. I’m not big on fancy anything.
    Me bookcases are full too. They’re there for storage I say. And you would be silly to waste it
