I was able to get some work done while Tin was at school this morning, but that ended abruptly as I had to pick Tin up from school and take him to the pediatric dentist today only to learn that his two front teeth are basically going to fall out. We’re going to make quite a family – me bald and him toothless. When he woke this morning I poured him a cold glass of milk and he threw it across the room. Another day, I thought to myself, another day. <\/p>\n

We got home and it was pouring down rain, and I just said fuck it, I can’t deal. So I made him pasta pesto and I made myself garlic toasted quinoa<\/a> and a big pot of vegan broccoli and zucchini soup that a friend had created:<\/p>\n

A bunch of broccoli
\nA bunch of greens
\nGarlic – three toes
\nOnions
\nSoybean flour
\nSoy milk
\nA little thyme (my addition)<\/p>\n

Parboil the broccoli, saut\u00e9 the onions till soft in olive oil, add chopped garlic, then add sliced zucchini. (I salt the zucchini and let it sweat out any bitterness and I don’t peel it.) Then when the zucchini is soft, remove from pot and add a little more oil and about a tablespoon of soybean flour and make a roux, then add the soy milk and whisk till you have almost a b\u00e9chamel texture. Combine everything in a food processor and puree adding enough soy milk to give it a soup\/stew consistency. Voila!<\/p>\n

Once I had succumbed to the fact that I couldn’t do anything, it opened up a whole new world. <\/p>\n
