Fridge soup

You have things that are wilting, crying out to be used. I had a slightly soft turnip, carrot, bendy celery, and scallions that we’re getting a wee bit slimy. Brown the vegetables that can handle it (the root vegetables—don’t put your alliums 🧅 yet) Then add the softer stuff, celery, onion, leek, whateva. Big bomb of garlic and Rosemary, if you have it. At this point I add a base that I use for a lot of soups and such which is tomato paste and miso (bc I never have stock on me). And whatever spices you think go. Paprika and cumin. Can of chickpeas. Mash like 1/3 of them for thicker soup base. If you have a hardy green like kale, chop it up, toss it in. if your greens are not Hardy, add later. Some tomatoes, canned peeled. (TIP: do NOT add the sauce from these canned tomatoes, save it for later or something, it’d simply too powerful and will cover up the tastes.) Water — enough that some will evaporate and you’ll still have enough soup in the pot. and salt, a good amount bc vegetable soup needs it and if you’re like me haven’t used stock.. Let boil, then simmer Like 20 mins. Taste. MAJOR: apple cider vinegar and W sauce puts this shit over the edge !! You can toss in some pasta like ditalini if you want. Grown up alphabet soup. I actually do not cook the pasta in the soup bc it fucks up the water levels, make on the side and then add imo. Ok enjoy :-)

This is how i keep myself alive every week as a lazy home cook

Vegan Caldo Verde * 1 large yellow onion diced * 1 lb carrots sliced * 6 cloves of garlic minced (but go with your heart as always for garlic) * Cayenne pepper * 2 tbsp Better Than Boullion veggie base (optional) * 2-3 russet potatoes sliced * 1-3 bunches of kale chopped depending on bunch size on how much of a kale fiend you are (lacinato is my preference) * 1-2 cans of cannellini beans In a large dutch oven (mine is 5.5 quarts) or pot heat 2-3 tbsp olive oil over medium heat and saute the onion and carrots for a few minutes. I sprinkle in some kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper too. Throw in the garlic and saute for another minute. I like to turn up the heat to medium high to get the fond/caramelization at the bottom of the vessel, just be careful that it doesn't burn. Pour in 2.5 quarts of cold tap water and scrape off the fond at the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This may result in a satisfactory broth on its own for you, but you can add the veggie base if you want. Turn up the heat to high to get the broth to boil, then toss in the potatoes. Turn heat back down to medium to maintain boil. When the potatoes are tender, go to town on them with a masher, then add the kale. When the kale is like 2/3 done I add the cannellini beans and keep cooking until the kale and beans are done. I love this recipe bc it's easy to shop for, easy to make, filling (you can add leftover rice to make it even more filling), budget-friendly, and nutritious. You can freeze it too. I'd love to show you how it's done and we can enjoy soup together lmao White rice + broccoli + protein Most of the time I'll use canned sardines or ground turkey or pork chops or chicken breast/thigh, but I've used tofu before.

Popcorn

Spicy. Salty. Make it. 1/4 cup popcorn kernels Pop ‘em in olive oil in a small/medium pot In a medium bowl Melt butter (quantity = follow your heart) Mix in spoonful of Gochujang Add hit of black garlic & dried green onions Add popcorn however you want. I like to use a bowl with a lid to shake the hell out of it. Sprinkle with flakey salt if you like it salty. Try a squeeze of lime if you have some hanging around. Eat in a dark room huddled over the warm glow of your phone screen.

Snapfitness

Fitness in a snap. That’s not their slogan but it should be. I’ve gone through three walking pads in two years. It’s an environmental nightmare so this is my solution. SnapFitness is the place where men in their 60s work out in anything from yard work jeans and grass cutting shoes to full business casual. I saw a man in khakis and a button down long sleeve shirt on the stair master at noon on a Tuesday.  There are rows of TVs in front of the treadmills and there’s always one dedicated to shows filmed in Florida. There’s a show about reposessing planes mid-flight and feeding alligators to celebrate. There’s an investigation show about mysterious bloody wounds found on suburban neighborhood pets. What gave them wounds? The show suggests that it’s aliens, chupacabras and ghosts. Logical predators like that.  It’s a place. And once you’re there, you’re part of the community. It’s fine.
