Every day wears on me harder and harder, and sometimes it feels like I’m barely staying afloat. There’s the struggle to get enough done, to do it right, to move on, to make people happy (or at least content) and then dreamy, blissful sleep. And then up, awake, sunlight streaming in and it all starts over again.</p> <p>Eventually, I find myself doubled over, gasping for breath, wondering how I got here and what it’s all for. And then I see her, so sweet and content in the world.

As in, way more than I should be eating now that I’m (supposed to be) watching what I eat. Some of them were these funny thin-skinned ones that got bumped and bruised on the 7-minute car ride home. Somehow, they ended up in the fridge and it took a few days for me to notice them.</p> <p>Of course, they were rather sad-looking by then, and there’s nothing better for sad-looking fruit and veggies than a trip over the Rainbow Bridge in your trusty blender. For this reincarnation, I turned to my cooking Bible (Old Testament version): <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0764578650?ie=UTF8&tag=mylifeonline-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0764578650">How to Cook Everything</a></em> by Mark Bittman.</p> <p><em>Fast Avocado Soup</em> was, indeed, fast. It was also, whaddayaknow, very avocado, to Spice’s delight and the spouse-unit’s dismay. Frothy, cool and light, I seasoned mine with Old Bay and totally forgot the heaps of cilantro I meant to toss on top. But it was still really good and I’ll be bringing this one out again over the summer.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lfbs/~4/EN0Wlt6OEbk" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lfbs/~3/EN0Wlt6OEbk/397059851http://www.littlefeetbigsky.com/post/397059851Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:11:50 -0800recipesmark bittmanhow to cook everythingsoupavocadohttp://www.littlefeetbigsky.com/post/397059851<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ky14lwUM1v1qzgo99o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://sweetxblasphemy.tumblr.com/post/396315129" class="tumblr_blog">sweetxblasphemy</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>You do know spaghetti is my favorite food ever right?
