Hello everyone, today's been a decent day compared to my horrible drama-wh... likeness of yesterday. It's my day off and after sleeping in then a cup of tea I had to do my weekly ritual of heavy housework. I wanted to cook something today but being out of yet another failed relationship there are times I just don't feel like eating alone.
As I get older the more I dislike the lonely thing.
But it was raining and a little chill out so after coming back from the laundromat I put some soup into the slow cooker. I made my strange version of minestrone.

Recipe as follows:
1 onion diced.
4 stalks of celery diced with leaves.
1 tablespoon of fresh garlic.
2 cloves of roasted garlic smeared and added as a paste.
1 medium carrot grated.
1 medium sized can of tomatoes.
2 cups of stock or water or wine or tomato juice or even V-8
1 small can of tomato paste.
1 package of frozen spinach.
2 tablespoons of basil pesto.
1 teaspoon of salt, pepper, dried oregano, paprika, fennel seeds.
*Meat
I tend to vary the meats but today I got 250grams of very finely sliced pastrami that I've put into it. Italian sausages work good too as well as Steak strips or Veal or chicken.
* Vegan style I add cut fresh green beans and a bit of tore up fresh basil and 2 fresh chopped tomatoes into it.

It turned out pretty good. I'm having it tomorrow too but I'll see about taking a bowl over to a friend who works late over at the local video store, she eats too many sandwiches.

Well that's it for now, I'm going to make homemade chocolate now and make my apartment smell awesome the rest of the night.
