Soup!

Yesterday, I made TWO pots of soup. Cioppino(*) for last night (leftovers will be lunch today) and a beef-barley for tonight, because we liked the last batch so much. Happy tummies around here.

Ooh, and that reminds me I have some of yesterday's homemade falafel in the fridge. Mmmmm.


(*Well, sort of. I don't tend to cook with wine, so it's not *legit* cioppino, but it was lovely. Littleneck clams, mussels, shrimp, and tilapia in a lovely clam-stock broth with onions, garlic, celery, and tomatoes. Finished off with some fresh basil and parsley. Served with baguette and roasted-garlic-olive-oil spread. Too yummy.)

The falafel

The homemade falafel was Madhur Jaffrey's recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's World of the East Vegetarian Cooking. Better than any pre-made mix I've bought, and they'll be even better after I get a food grinder. I've bid on this one because it's cheaper than getting the attachment to my KitchenAid, but we'll see.
