Day 25

Lest you think it's all doom and gloom around here (or that my attempts to prepare food end in nothing but disaster), I made a soup tonight that Madeline raved about. It was a variation on the basic chowder from 12 Steps to Raw Foods. Here's what I my interpretation:

Tomato and Red Pepper Chowder
1 cup cashews
1 cup water

Blend until creamy

Add:
1 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup zucchini
6 white mushrooms
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno with seeds
2 pitted medjool dates
Salt to taste

Blend again until creamy and pour into bowls

4 Roma tomatoes
1 bell pepper

Dice and add to chowder base.

And that's it! I thoroughly appreciate a successful night in the kitchen.
