i watched the movie "ratatouille" today, which was very enjoyable and quite inspiring. quick summary: it's about a rat who likes to cook and gets to be the secret chef at a fancy pants parisian restaurant that makes all the good food, while hidden by a hapless busboy (seriously, i feel like i only see the word "hapless" during movie or book descriptions).
anyway, i was inspired. also, i have an exam coming up in a week, so this is one of the last real free time (obviously i don't mean real free time like normal people have it...but whatever) i have to spend some time cooking. soon it will be back to the frozen burritos and ordering in.
so i thought i'd make soup. seemed like a good day for it. this being the third time i've ever made soup, and the first time without a recipe, it was an adventure. basically i just threw in everything i had. onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, beans. a can of chicken broth. garlic. every spice i own (all three of them) including a couple secret ingredients. and some milk.
at the inclusion of the last ingredient, something strange happened. the slight pink tint due to the pink beans, with the white of the milk, and who know what else, turned the soup a rather unappetizing shade of purple. or more of a lavender. or kind of grey. anyway, i was amused.
oh, it still tasted great. i'm not exactly like bridget jones...she got colin firth. though pete says he likes me just the way i am....
anyway, my mind is running away from me. i hope everyone has a good week. i'll be spending my time trying to study amidst the playoffs.
