You really need to wait until the soup cools before blending!

Hey guys.  Obviously study and work has been taking over my life (as usual).
I broke a stick blender this week!  I made a huge pot of leek and potato soup and tried to blend it before it was cool enough.  Long story short, I melted all the glue in the blender and had to throw it and the soup out.  I was a very sad panda.
So I made this soup on Saturday instead – it’s kinda chunky because I used a potato masher to mash up the veggies.  Totally tasty (it’s the Fennel, Squash and Apple soup from the Voluptuous Vegan).

Next I made the Chard Frittata from Vegan Brunch.  It was pretty good, but next time I’m going to put the tofu through the food processor and cut up the silverbeet (chard) a lot finer!

Cookies have helped to ease the pain of study.  I bastardised a Dreena Burton recipe by adding waaaaay too much molasses – they were even better this way!

And, in remembrance of my stick blender, green taties (pesto potatoes) with pesto made in the stick blender.

Cam has his only exam tomorrow.  I have one next week and two the week after.  Law school really is as boring as everyone says it is!!!!
