Dinner, a simple cannelloni and escarole soup with big fat croutons. Who wouldn't like that.
I have made a lot of soup this winter, much more than usual. I think the basic and simple quality of it is appealing to me in an organic way. So few ingredients can produce a complexity that cannot be lost on the palette. It reminds me of some of the more interesting people I have known who appear to be simple and ordinary, until you explore a bit deeper and find the amazing, which has been there all along, but you don't realize because one expects so much more. Like soup.
Soup is such a wonderful comfort food and a very creative thing to make. Cooking is not my favorite thing, I do fine but would much rather be making a piece of jewelry. Although I do enjoy making spaghetti sauces and soups.
ReplyDeleteChowder here tonight. And cheesecake ~ the uncooked sort. Mmm.
