Bisque de Courge, or Twixt the Squashes' Nethers

...hand-held. Then I thought the poor Kitchen Vibrator was probably boxing above its weight, so I attacked the chunks of vegetables with the potato masher. This did the trick, and I soon had a smooth puree soup. It is, however, a not immediately attractive color--sort of Starfleet Mustard. It tasted very good even without dairy products, so I went through two bowlfuls before it had a chance to cool.

Hmm. Also, productivity.

...me. I'm determined not to permit the same lapse in good sense this time. Don't know that I have much to worry about, though. Since getting the box of Rice Krispy's yesterday, I have already eaten 3 bowlfuls of the stuff. At this rate there won't be much left for treats! * I am, of course, excluding the obvious similarities such as: - there is a human being inside of me who kicks and hiccups - I...

Symposium-going, Part 1

...be a new addiction should I be so foolish as to learn how to make it. It's thick strands of a cotton candy-like substance, flavored with almond and vanilla, delicate, melting, and more-ish. We had bowlfuls off it to top up the decorative amount already on our plates. With coffee, were somewhat odd sweet walnut and grape jelly "sausages". This is quite long enough already, so I'll post more of it ...

... one thing he doesn’t want to be doing in the morning is scraping up eviscerated puppy. *** Sam hauls his carcass out of bed with the sun high in the sky, vacuums down two bowlfuls of Bobby’s heart-healthy cholesterol-busting plywood flakes, heads out and finds Dean tinkering with the Impala, whistling, battered sneakers poking out from underneath. And just like he does every morning, Sam feels ...

Kinpira rice...first proper cooking in weeks...a quick invention, vegan and tasty (says unashamedly the one who made it).  Well, I've just had two small bowlfuls, so what can I say! I love this little bowl from Taizé, France.

... walks down the cereal aisle. She catches sight of the Frootees boxes and flinches before putting one into her cart. It's become a tradition, both the flinching and the cereal--she eats them in slow bowlfuls and remembers early morning breakfasts and briefings. She looks up and finds him watching her. They go get coffee. It's a new place, newer than Sam Carter returning from the dead, and it ...

...room, remarking: “Oh look – what a charming bedspread!” The prince raised an eyebrow at Merlin, but agreed politely that the rather tatty rag was charming, before turning back to see seven steaming bowlfuls of stew. “Deceptively large pot,” he murmured, before cautiously tasting the food. He nodded his approval, and tucked in. Exhaustion was creeping up on Merlin after the long, cold trek. He ...
