Fennel Tomato White Bean Soup

Image
 Am I the only person on the planet who is intimidated by a whole fennel with all its glorious fronds? I basically made this soup. It is TASTY but I fear I have let some of a previous fennel turn into a refrigerator science project. SIGH 5:03 hours. Pretty good for a new place. Gorgeous weather after everyone hit storms from both directions.

Roasted Radishes and carrots

 Sharp radishes roasted with carrots that carmelize  most deliciously sounds like a fabulous combo. DUDE, use a cutting board. Watching someone cut into their thumb makes me NERVOUS 5:03 hours of sleep, in spite of getting to bed absurdly late. Maybe it was all the small tasks that got done before bedtime.

gunpowder radishes with raita

 Gunpowder here is an Indian spice mix fresh ground But the name is just right for certain psychic states. Stick to the kitchen, not actual gunpowder though. 6:03 hours of sleep. Grey morning but tolerable when I went out in the afternoon.

 Drunk history definitely sounds better than the current timeline. Enjoy. 5:36 hours of sleep Amazing since I went to bed LATE and tossed and turned and had to get up, eat a banana, and munch some ibuprofen to get any real sleep. More paper purge. Old stuff pre 2010. Weird time machine. Also made several will call back tomorrow calls. Time for exercycle

 Fantastic and highly entertaining science POSSIBILITIES. I am not attempting to analyze deeply pros and cons but the idea just sounds FUN. 6:04 hours of sleep. Calories and ibuprofen before bed. I slept WELL, made it out of bed in time for 10 am Zoom worship and managed 6 hours of sleep. Fewer aches and pains than I expected but toward the end of the day my face and one shoulder started to feel sore. But body still likes moving muscles so....
