So I opened my email, and my lovely Naty Cakes sent me a link to buzz feed that I feel I must take to heart. It is entitled, “16 Libraries You Have To See Before You Die” and they look divine.
My new life goal is to visit every single one of these, and bask in their awesomeness.
Wiblingen Monastery Library in Ulm, Germany
Yale University Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library in New Haven, United States
Admont Abbey Library in Admont, Austria
Pontifical Lateran University Library in Rome, Italy
University of Coimbra General Library in Coimbra, Portugal
Johns Hopkins University George Peabody Library in Baltimore, United States [HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE? SERIOUSLY, OMG, NEXT TIME IM IN MARYLAND ITS GOING DOWN]
While staying with my Argentinian lover (Natty Cakes) I was introduced to possibly the most tasty soup I have ever had, a leek and broccoli soup. It was hand crafted with strategic cooking magic that only a Korean-Argentinian could possibly create.
Since I lack these magical skills, but I’ve been on a health binge, I wanted to recreate this deliciousness. So I did what I do best, fucked around on youtube. Eventually I happened upon Nicko’s Kitchen, an amazingly delicious looking channel that only made me insanely hungry(er). It just so happens that Nicko did a video just for leek and broccoli, cause secretly he knew I was craving that shit, I know you got my back bro. Thanks Nicko.
See how easy that was? I was all full of self-confidence after watching that. Like, seriously, all I have to do is boil some green shit, blend it, and pour that delicious vegetable liquor into my face hole? WHY AM I NOT DOING THAT RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND?
:3 And so I did. I went out and got an organic leek and organic head of broccoli (mad cause I bought organic? yeah, you’re mad) and chopped it up.
But after pouring some water into the pot, I looked at how lonely the leek and broccoli seemed. So I decided to open the fridge and throw some more in. Specifically, mushrooms.
But, you know what I love even more than mushrooms? Onions. So I added that shit too.
So now I’m looking at this Leek n Broccoli n Mushroom n Onion mountain & I’m excited to stuff it all into le pot.
However, a quick observation reveals that the chopped up mixed no longer fits in the original pot that I selected to cook in… So I transfer my concoction to a larger pot, now I’m ready to rock n’ roll!
Aaaaand this is what it looked like, before the boil.
After my veggie water mix was done I poured it all into the blender, but of course, I started thinking creatively. WHY NOT ADD MORE? CAUSE MORE! So I poured in a bit of veggie broth. THEN I BLENDED :3 AND IT LOOKS LIKE THIS:
So now I am pouring the finished result into a bowl to stuff my face.
I added a lot of pepper and a lil bit of salt. I have to say, I am excited to put the Leek & Broccoli Soup Badge of Adulthood on my Life Scout sash. Its not quite as good as my friend’s mom’s recipe – but the fact that I made this and I didn’t feel the need to vomit is an amazing achievement. I’m patting myself on the back.
