Just 'cause i haven't written about it much doesn't mean I haven't done much cooking, kind of sort of cook all the time every day. Still. Somethings don't change. Although It looks and feels like i may have worn out a letter or two on this computer thing. The H is loosing feeling. Ugh.

Awesome. Oh well maybe i can grab a USB keyboard and extend the life. 

Making an old standby. Sure, not old, and not something I make more than 2x a year perhaps. But somehow someone convinced me to buy some Leeks and well...  making this http://www.gewilli.com/2014/03/gallois-poireau-potage-parmentier-avec.html 

And yes, also have fired up the wood stove to fight the chill tonight. So curling up with a bowl of it will be more or less kind of exactly like it was written up. Although using a bit more bacon this time, make some super quick veggie stock (carrot ends, celery ends, part of an onion - boiling a bit), and used some new/red potatoes instead of the normal gold or russets. 

Yes potatoes - all starchy and carby and shit. special occasion and it changes it up, throws a bit of a curveball at the metabolism, keeps it on its toes. Not normal but still pretty damn yummy.

Maybe next time I'll try making Cauliflower Leek Soup with Bacon. 

maybe...

or just save the cauliflower for roasting in the oven.

Did the annual re-up of the domain that VT knucklehead punked me with and then awkwardly transfered over a few years...  couple years now I've managed to figure out how to renew. This might be the first year I haven't had to reset the password or contact the company i'm giving money to to keep the name in my name and keep this thing going.

But then since I did just dump some cash in their direction I should probably keep up the writing eh? Pretty shitty return on post/dollar in '14. Go figure. 

Is there anything left worth saying?

Other than the idea that perhaps the 12 Hundos in July actually seems like actually not such an insane idea. I'll easily have 12 vacation days to burn, I MIGHT beable to find at least 3-4 different people who might want to join on one of those days. But man, 12 different centuries, bigger challenge is how to plan the routes so I'm not super bored. Or just hell throw the whole kitchen sink at it, Plymouth, Elephant Rock, Boston (a couple times), CT, all in RI... all in one county... Heck actually there ya go...  do a century in each of RI's counties in that month too to add to it.

Yes - it is not quite the same as the Hundo of the Month club, and maybe I'll still manage to join that sooner than later, but that said - I did that, kind of feel like i started it with my once a month rides to boston or where ever, doesn't matter because it is an awesome and worthy achievement even if just a goal to have.

Lots and lots and lots of stuff in the works, probably too much, but then I think that's just how i do it. Too many things at once. Perhaps soon some of this mountain of shit i do will spill over into areas that other people can get something from. Maybe.

Oh well - time to enjoy a bowl of soup next to the woodstove.
