A Little Taste of Heaven

Mon, 01/29/2007 - 1:18pm — chicago dyke

I'm swamped with work today, but I just took a quick lunch break and made some soup. I know it's wintertime, but even though it's cold, for me, this recipe is like a quick trip to tropical climes. And it's fast! All you need is a blender.

One or two avocados
Buttermilk
Chicken or mushroom broth, the strongly flavored kind
Chopped cilantro
Diced ginger
Cumin
Chilies (pick your favorite)
Lemon juice

Blend at the highest speed. Enjoy! If you're serving it to guests, you can strain it for effect. I like it slightly chunky, myself.

I can't believe I just drank the whole blenderful, but then again, I never met a glass of buttermilk or avocado I didn't love. Hat tip to the incomparable Ms. Jaffrey.

Medicare for All would save $350 billion a year (study in New England Journal of Medicine).

13:36:52 lambert Agree on Ron Paul and the Fed.
13:23:52 brucedixon interesting.... Glen tells me that neither the fake "jobs summit" nor the familiar wailing of conyers about his being disappointed with the prez are the big story. the most important thing happening in DC right now is the Ron Paul bill which wd require the Fed to be audited.
13:57:03 brucedixon I think my colleague Glen Ford is writing on it this week in BAR so I will just co-sign whatever he says.
22:03:36 Valley Girl I'd sure like Bruce Dixon's take on the Conyers comments. Just emailed him.
21:03:43 lambert Thanks, Jeff.

17:52:53 Davidson So, of course they're not going to show the truth about boxing her in from the beginning.
17:51:57 Davidson Yeah, that was just a comment in general, like, "Not even the RBC decision warranted scrutiny."
15:38:02 lambert That's not the RBC meeting, though. That's the smoking gun, beyond "Smart politics" (Wolfson).
14:17:16 Davidson Notice how everyone still avoids exposing the RBC decision
