I irregularly pick the Food Network choice. Today, I should have headed to church.
After 2 hours of watching, I decided to cook. First, I was going to make a dump soup. This is a soup made by dumping canned items into a pot with a bouillon and let it boil. Simple.
Food Network saturated my brain and I could not be "simple".
Using yellow lentils, garlic, and onions, I fried them together and added my only can, canned cream corn. Then, I took out my spices and added and added. Focusing on the yellow color, I added only yellow spices and salt. Then, I put in water and sat it for a simmer.
When it came to tasting, the method of choosing spices by color revealed itself to a disappointment. The soup had flavors I wanted, flavors I didn't want, and I couldn't tell the difference. The solution was a bouillon cube and the old faithful yellow curry powder. Solution found.
Lentils require water, time, and heat to cook. They got an inadequate amount of the first two and excessive amount of the last. Remember the onions and garlic? I remembered them too when trying to stir.
Stirring. Stirring is good. It mixes ingredients together and keeps ingredients from burning on the bottom. Mine were both mixed and burned.
In the process of stirring, I managed to break a piece of the wooden spoon.
Remember, I'm making soup.
Soup
A liquid dish.
A dish that is mostly water.
A dish people eat with spoons.
A dish people can consume like a drink in a rush.
A dish served in a bowl to hold it.
I broke a spoon making soup.
A piece of my spoon cracked off from the tip while stirring soup. My Sunday soup was dangerous. Watching excessive hours of Food Network and then cooking is not advised on Sundays.
Must buy a new spoon on Monday.
