On the stove now (and in a bowl in front of me)

Simple potato soup. Perfect food for a winter day when I'm sick.

(Saute chopped onion in olive oil. Add cubed potatoes. Saute a little longer. Add veggie stock, a pinch of fines herbs, a bay leaf or two, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil; lower heat and simmer until potatoes get kinda mushy.)

(no subject)

Artichokes are 39 cents each these days, and they're the best we've ever had (the "frost-kissed", ugly ones). Tonight, we had them alongside some fried rice (rice, tofu, soy sauce, Thai chili sauce, a little peanut oil, red onions, peas -- comment if you want more details, but it's just your basic fried rice). I kinda wish I'd been more hungry, because I loved it all but I couldn't even finish the artichoke! *sob*

Oh, well, I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow.
