yesterday i practiced with my pantsuit ladiez and we got pedicures afterwards. we looked into a mirror while our feet were being worked on and realized that would be a good band picture---3 of us in a row getting pedicures. i got bright green polish, sharky got a color called "devil's blood" and tina got a very ladylike Pink.
They made us all buy $1 flip flops cause they said we'd mess up the polish with our dirty shoes.
leener had a dim sum birthday brunch earlier in the day in chinatown. I passed on all things shrimp-related because I am of delicate humours. I ate greens and dessert buns. it was a very exciting experience to be chasing carts of chicken feet and noodles with surprises.
i didn't eat any chicken feet in case you are wondering.
i made the tex mex soup again saturday:
this is the recipe for paul goldstein.
1 onion (chopped)
6 cloves garlic
1 can undrained chopped tomatoes
1 can kidney or pinto beans
1 can black-eyed peas
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 chile pepper (i used about 4 different peppers though i like SPICY)
jalapeno jack cheese
sour cream
tortilla chips
2 tbs olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. oregano
2 cups water
1/4 cup barbeque sauce
saute the onion and garlic and salt in olive oil for 10 minutes. add chopped up green & red peppers, all the spices, and the chile pepper. saute for another 10 minutes until pretty tender.
then put all your sauteed veggies and spices in a soup pot with 2 cups water and dump the can of chopped tomatoes in. simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add both cans of beans and 1/4 c. bbq sauce.
Simmer for a few more minutes.
Serve it up with jalapeno cheese, tortilla chips and sour cream.
YUM.
