In which there’s THE BEST tomato soup recipe ever. You’re welcome. There’s a recipe for homemade tomato soup online that’s written very strangely. It has half the necessary tomatoes and six times the olive oil and it confuses the hell out of people. I’m posting my adaptation of that recipe here, because prepared this way […]
In which there’s a soup recipe that freezes really well! I made this soup a couple weeks ago and froze some of it. Friday I pulled some out of the freezer; Saturday I re-heated it and ate it and it was brilliant! I love this soup! It satisfies that “I really want a creamy chowder […]

Plus: there’s a bunch of food porn! Yesterday I was craving a big old bowl of the Egyptian breakfast food known as ful medames. The stuff is just so […]
