Soup(s)

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

It's getting cold, at least in some places, and it's time to make soup!


Soup has to be one of the easiest things to make, and possibly eat, on this entire planet (With the exception of the PB&J). One of the best things about soup is you can put just about ANYTHING into it. Go digging! Let's see what is hiding in our fridge and, with the exception of desert type stuff, throw it in! You take a really big pot, fill it with a ton of water then start dropping whatever it is your found, into it.

I've seen some rather interesting things come from this event, not all of them good, but watch out for problems. A common being that fruit must be paired correctly with its veggies and meat. Most veggies and meat can just randomly get thrown together with other things to have no harm but fruit, don't work that way. (Yes, you can put fruit in soup.)

Simple Warning: Bake or broil your fruit stuffs before throwing them into a soup, or stew, to prevent from problems of the health nature. Anyway, this post had a main point but it seems lost.

EAT YOUR SOUP!

B-O-L-O-G-N-A =/= Baloney

Recently, while traveling to get groceries and the like, I have noticed that the "common brand" or "generic" bologna has been spelling its products name incorrectly.

Baloney =/= Bologna and never will. This is just, STUPID! Why are people not only ENCOURAGING THIS but also stating that the other (bologna) spelling is actually wrong?

That's just, annoying! I eat bologna, not "ball-oony".

One of my favorite little slices of meat gets tainted by stupid. This is not something I am amused to hear or see!

There is a very glad look on my face, however, when it turns out that they are chemically the same. Thus just making it a "merchandise puck up" on the sellers point. I just hope that people realize one is not how the thing is actually spelled and is a slang term.

Hmm...

Not sure why I made this blog. I might as well say something, though. Let's see...

I like lemons. Lemons are yummy. It's not often one gets to say whatever they want, especially when lemons are involved, especially lemon kisses. Lemon flavoring, on the other hand, usually isn't too good. There has to be just the right balance of sweet and sour. Speaking of sweet and sour, I'll say something about Asian food that I noticed on Rachel Ray: SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT. She thinks you should have more meat and almost no rice, but the dish she made should have been mostly rice with a tiny bit of meat and sauce on top to add a little flavor.

On that note: The Japanese word for meal, gohan (御飯), is also the word for cooked rice. なぜか (Why?)。 Because RICE SHOULD BE THE MAIN DISH. Except in America, of course. I'd love to see people from America try to find the stuff we call Asian food ANYWHERE in Asia from a place that isn't influenced by Western dishes. Even in India (at least going by what Buddhist monks there have prepared here), the main dish is the rice with curry on top (and not what most Americans call curry).

On a related note, when my mother and I made food alongside the monks (we made the dinner that night), the curry they made was the best food of any kind I've ever eaten. Maybe I'll put the recipe on here eventually...but...well...they didn't exactly follow a recipe and no measurement went on. It was merely a list of ingredients.
And I had pizza for dinner today. VERY cheesy pizza. Hospital pizza, but it was good, nonetheless. Maybe some other time I'll rant on hospital food.
