[CS Lounge] Aik's Popcorn Party for all!

/insert Charlie Brown “i got a rock…” gif

I had a weird burst of energy this morning and was vacuuming at the break of dawn. Weird. Anyhoo, have a great weekend, my friends.

Well, my twitch/FPS skills are coming back to me. Just need to work on my mouse aim. hehehe

Perhaps the current state of our culture is even worse than I’d imagined.
There’s an article in the news today for people who are cooking their own food at home for the first time ever.

The article gives a few general tips on what you’ll need as far as staples and tools and what types of fresh produce keep best.

They then include a suggested first recipe to try.

Apparently there’s some hidden agenda here, perhaps the restaurant industry is behind this and they don’t want it to actually catch on. The recipe is for kale soup.

That moment when you realize you still have 8 hours left to gk at work. And then reality slowly sets in. You have already been there for 8 hours as well.

I need a break. Something.

I’d go bonkers. 10 hours in a shift was too much for me.

Cannellini Kale Soup

Total time: 20 minutes

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
3 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes including liquid
2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian dried herbs
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Fresh cracked black pepper, several turns
2 cups baby kale
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and stir to prevent burning about 2 to 3 minutes. The onions will become translucent and soft.

Add in the broth, tomatoes, beans, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in the kale and let simmer and additional 2 minutes until the kale is wilted.

Take off heat. Serve immediately topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Note: Try adding red pepper flakes the second time around for variation.
