Jewelry Holder and Gumbo Prep
Tomorrow is my soup night, and I’ve somehow ended up making two soups. And I am really not a person who cooks. For example, if you’re going to cook multiple soups, it might be a good idea to have more than one pot. Having groceries is a fairly good idea. I started out tonight with none of these things. A hardware store, Crate & Barrel and two grocery stores later I had located everything except sassafras which, oddly, was the only ingredient shared by the gumbo and the thai mushroom soup. I went to Crate & Barrel with the intention of purchasing a grown-up person’s pot. This was not to be. Despite having a wide variety of display models, my local store was out of everything. Except for a clearance asparagus steamer. Amazingly, it was more than half off and included a mesh insert for, well, steaming things. Like asparagus I suppose. Anyway, after stirring my gumbo base for at least an hour, I made a jewelry holder from the mesh cylinder.
