kthread cooks: tomato soup + american cheese
And let’s reclaim American cheese in this moment too, shall we?
Recipe: 2 ripe, red tomatoes (or half a 28 oz. can) + 2 white shallots all cut into 1/2 inch pieces, spread on parchment paper on a baking sheet and tossed with 1 tbsp olive oil, roasted for 20 min at 425 degrees. Then, blend/process roasted mix, stir in 1 teaspoon of tomato paste if you have it, thin with water or stock (start with 1/4 cup), heat. Top with blue cheese. [Note: I like this honest soup without cream, but feel free to stir in a little, or bread crumbs to thicken.]

Indeed, who needs dairy in the soup when you can pair it with a buttery, grilled-cheese sandwich? Interesting bit about the Maytag cheese. Their website’s recipe for Maytag blue butter–to top a filet mignon–sounds amazing. Here’s hoping this post inaugurates a new era of kthread soup-making.
p.s. that top looks fabulous on you.

Ben, you are so right on the grilled cheese, and we’ll have to make that Maytag compound butter–so much to celebrate (including your upcoming birthday that I’ll be sad to miss in person)!
And thank you, it’s a week to wear shimmer and have hope that this administration will bring fashion back… ;)

Oh, I know how you feel about local dairy!
Love this epy! Love the action verbs! Love the earrings! And I LOVE that chocolate cake recipe you sent. I think cake time will occur later this afternoon. If you aren’t doing anything, maybe you could come over and help me break in To Be Named….
