Best soup ever and things I have found on the internet

[daemonluna]

I assembled soup for supper for supper last night. It is our current favourite. It contains:

- homemade turkey stock (although there is now no more stock in the freezer)
- potato and a bit of onion, browned a bit then added to the stock
- sausage, browned separately and added at the last minute
- kale, added with the sausage
- parmesan cheese, including a chunk of parmesan rind to gnaw on at the bottom of each bowl

Later today, I am going to buy the last little bits of stocking stuffer, and new glasses. For I got my eyes tested, and they did NOT put in the stupid drops that dilate your pupils, oh happy day. And lo, my eyes were proclaimed perfectly healthy, independent of my hereditary needing glasses to see past the end of my nose.

Things I have found lately while reading the internet:

- Simon's Cat This is the guy who did the "wake-up cat" cartoon. Scarily, hilariously accurate. Also, the sound of the cat meowing while I watched them made Trout run to the window, intently looking for the OTHER CAT in the vicinity of HIS HOUSE.

- A recipe for chocolate spiced zucchini loaf that troutkitty IM'd me from all the way across the living room, accompanied with a pleading look. The same circumstances also surrounded this banana bread recipe, which looks very close to my usual recipe from the Rebar cookbook.

- A hopeful article: Significantly More Teens Think 'That's So Gay' is Wrong as GLSEN's Ad Council Campaign Enters Second Phase

- A bunch of improv tips. Anybody local-ish will probably guess which Calgarian linked this on Facebook. *g*

- The Electronic Frontier Foundation looks like an excellent place to donate to, and not just because of the bonus of a special-edition XKCD shirt.

It is snowing again, big, fat white drifting flakes. I see more sidewalk-shovelling in my future. But first, I am going to finish reading the internet (I have a weekend addiction to apartment therapy) and before anything else, hunt down socks or slippers. Brr, cold floor!

I've been making kale/sausage soup with white beans lately (and sometimes tomatoes). I'll have to try it with potatoes and parmesan; that sounds lovely.
