Fridge soup

You have things that are wilting, crying out to be used. I had a slightly soft turnip, carrot, bendy celery, and scallions that we’re getting a wee bit slimy. Brown the vegetables that can handle it (the root vegetables—don’t put your alliums 🧅 yet) Then add the softer stuff, celery, onion, leek, whateva. Big bomb of garlic and Rosemary, if you have it. At this point I add a base that I use for a lot of soups and such which is tomato paste and miso (bc I never have stock on me). And whatever spices you think go. Paprika and cumin. Can of chickpeas. Mash like 1/3 of them for thicker soup base. If you have a hardy green like kale, chop it up, toss it in. if your greens are not Hardy, add later. Some tomatoes, canned peeled. (TIP: do NOT add the sauce from these canned tomatoes, save it for later or something, it’d simply too powerful and will cover up the tastes.) Water — enough that some will evaporate and you’ll still have enough soup in the pot. and salt, a good amount bc vegetable soup needs it and if you’re like me haven’t used stock.. Let boil, then simmer Like 20 mins. Taste. MAJOR: apple cider vinegar and W sauce puts this shit over the edge !! You can toss in some pasta like ditalini if you want. Grown up alphabet soup. I actually do not cook the pasta in the soup bc it fucks up the water levels, make on the side and then add imo. Ok enjoy :-)

MAGICAL ANY VEGETABLE SOUP

- roast any vegetables you think would go together (broccoli + carrot, butternut squash + fennel, throw some alliums in there …) - blend until smooth (reserve some part to add back in later if you like some chunks) - flavor: add salt and pepper and some spices to taste (toasted cumin, smoked paprika, rosemary are some of my favorites). Make sure you add enough (at least a few tbsp per pot). Could also add broth or buillion if you have it. - add cheese or a sip of cream or milk or other creamy substance - add cronch, like some croutons or toasted bread or crispy onions Same basic formula mixed and matched with anything left in your house results in infinite options!

Christopher Walken on the street in NYC

Upper East Side. He shouted “I thought it was a Tuesday” on a Wednesday into a flip phone in the early 2000s. He sounded just like he does in the movies 💕

Dive deeply into yourself

This is annoying advice but love has always come to me when I’m not looking for it. When I get very active in things I’m passionate about (usually leftie organizing but also art and history stuff and also just spending time with friends a la the friends of friends rec) I meet new people and find interesting, aligned folks.

Work on your resume or Apply for a new job

I got my current role by rage applying and it’s weirdly great but still whenever I get mad at it, I either update my resume (I’m only able to boast about my work when I’m mad at my job!) or randomly apply to roles - it gives you a task to focus on and it could end up changing your life for the better.
