Random thoughts today.
I noted that I use the word “perhaps” quite a bit. Am I unsure, in doubt? The word “veggie” arrrghh! Vegetables are deserving of more respect than “veggie” it sounds so diminutive. Or maybe I should blame my history professor who pointed out how there are so many feminine names that are diminutive versions of male names. “we know it because …” Vegetables and women deserve more than names that have been made small with -ee, -ie , -y ending of names.
What tea makes for a nice strong black brew? Nice, in my world, in this instance, is a tea that brews up dark almost coffee-like. Know some?
Tomato soup, we all have and some, perhaps a lot of it. Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, oh yes!, I wanted some today. We did not have any. We had none in boxes or cans. So I decided to make some. A bit of, yes we had what was needed, onions, carrots, celery, olive oil, time. Yes, time to make it is important in the list of ingredients. As I was making it I thought of people who, for them, it is easy to throw together a soup. Unless you do not cook. Them you no longer have the time. It becomes a thing you give up, the time. But if you are there, at a stove next to a refrigerator or pantry, it is so easy to grab what you have and put them together. While you are making whatever. Not that I was. I wanted some soup. We did not have any. I was not going to go to a store to buy a box or can of soup, No, So I took the time, reflecting on what I could write or type about today. Spices I also winged it today, salt, pepper, onion salt, (I decided against Aleppo pepper, it is a default thing to add to whatever, and paprika that might have been good) some sugar, butter, a generous tablespoon of “Better Than Bullion” vegetable base (I also decided against Hacho Miso, maybe next time) a few sprinkles of “Mushroom and Company Multipurpose Umani Seasoning Blend” from Trader Joe’s. All of that stuff and two cans of diced tomatoes. Let it all cook together for a while. Blend it up so it was mostly all of that consistency you are familiar with. And I had it. Tomato soup. Lunch. For another meal I think, I think – do not know yet – I will add some rice. Tomato-rice soup. Yes, I think so.
I and me had a question. What was it?
One would think that lying in bed, unable to fall asleep, pondering a question, well you would remember the question. Curiosity: how fast do you type to create a page for a One Typed Page page? It seems it takes me longer than I thought. When I write, in a composition book, it takes me abought about 10 to 15 minutes. Nine minutes if I have an idea and I just write it down. But, as they say, it is not the writing it is the rewriting that creates the finished product. The time does not matter, People take freeways to save time, ahhhwha, I am going down a rabbit hole here. Ignore this paragraph. And forget about the time. You will use it up just the same.
