Amy requested soup for dinner last night. Of course, I acquiesced, and thus made White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup from Vegan With A Vengeance. It was a little thin, even with the beans and garlic pureed (using my wonderful immersion blender Marcus gave me for my birthday), so we added frozen mixed vegetables. I also made a couple of other changes - I only roasted one
head of garlic and not two - I thought two was a bit excessive- and I
put in a half teaspoon of white vinegar instead of the lemon juice. (I
keep forgetting to buy lemon juice. I'm not sure why.) Anyhow, I'm not
sure I will make it again, but if I do, I will try two heads of garlic
for sure, and of course, the lemon juice. It was quite good.
To go with the soup, I made Irish Soda Bread from Recipes For A Small Planet-well, a recipe for it, with white whole wheat flour, using molasses instead of honey and soured soy milk instead of yogurt AND applesauce instead of an egg. It was rather gooey and had to be spread in the pan, but Amy liked it. I was pleasantly surprised, because Amy is not one for liking bread all that much. All in all, I would say it was a successful supper, and we will have the leftovers for lunch today!

Vegetable Miso Soup
Another recipe from Isa Does It is a big hit with our family! Tonight, Amy made the Vegetable Miso Soup. Now, we didn't have any scallions or cauliflower (we used that up earlier in the week), but she added carrots and peas and tofu (seared in olive oil) and just a few drops of Sriracha, and it was delicious!
In other news, I took Moomoo the cat to the vet, because he's too thin and seems to be depressed. The vet is trying him on a high calorie diet (only for him; the other cats are already jealous of the extra feeding time), and will see him back around December 20th to see if he's gained any weight and is feeling better. I hope the change in diet does the trick. Otherwise, then the vet will have to order some blood tests, which are expensive. But can you put a price on life?
