Bean Soup

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

The streets are quiet as I slide slowly through the decaying, cold blocks in my rumbling white beast of flame and fury.  The cold penetrates through the glass of my windows like the feathery touches of a fading ghost.  An occasional hood, so huge it appears empty, shuffles down the sidewalk on a pair of trousers flapping lazily in the chilly breeze.

Spring is not here yet.  Oh, but you already knew that.  I’m spending the evening enjoying the warm smells of multi-bean soup, the gentle riffs of Isaac Shepard’s Deep Joy, and the happy fuzzies of studying a few too many numbers after a long day of accomplishment.

Tonight’s recipe-of-the-moment consists of bean medley soaked for 20+ hours (oopsie), onion, garlic, carrot, cayenne, garam masala, with more spices to-be-announced.
