Hungarian mushroom soup

I made this recipe tonight

(substituting mushroom broth for the chicken broth and adding more fresh dill, fresh parsley, tamari, paprika and lemon juice). I was doubtful while making it but was very pleased with the result. I think I'd try it again with a mushroom medley instead of just portobello. The reviews suggest using a high quality Hungarian paprika instead of something ordinary.

Jalapeno?

I need one jalapeno for the mushroom soup I'm going to make, and I was walking home from the office so I stopped at price rite. You can't buy single jalapenos there. Wtf am I going to do with all of these??

tinypliny writes at 06:27:04 11/09/11 - Comment #66040: And in a similar vein. Roast tomatoes and jalapenos together to make super awesome tomato-jallapeÃ±o chutney. You can even caramelize onions to blend together with fresh cilantro to make it even more interesting!

tinypliny writes at 06:23:18 11/09/11 - Comment #66039: Brand new idea: Roasted JalapeÃ±o and plum chutney. Roast a good quantity of plums and jalapeÃ±os at 350 deg F till they plums start caramelizing. Add some honey and blend to a puree. Add organic orange peel in the blending phase for extra flavour!

metalpeter writes at 05:34:34 11/09/11 - Comment #66038: If you like Chili or other foods like that spicy add them sorry no idea how much ? Also I just saw an ad the other day that some alcohol maybe southern comfort has a variety with this in it so maybe there is some way to add it to a drink? Heard of something called Jalapeno poppers maybe applebee's ? so maybe make those what ever they are.....

tinypliny writes at 01:53:13 11/09/11 - Comment #66035: In fact if you add chopped cilantro along with the jalapeÃ±o to the oil and blend it together, it becomes a FABULOUS seasoning when frozen.

lilho writes at 01:31:12 11/09/11 - Comment #66034: All great ideas... I get excited thinking about spicy food. Mmmm.

tinypliny writes at 12:07:45 11/09/11 - Comment #66033: That's a really cool (hot?) idea! :)

One more: Chop the jalapeÃ±o into small pieces, heat a wok/fry pan, add some olive oil, season with mustard seed and generous coconut flakes, turn the stove off. Add the chopped jalapeÃ±os and swirl around for less than a minute). Blend to a fine paste in powerful blender, divide into small bits and freeze. Instant seasoning/heat/spice for future soups!

jason writes at 10:56:04 11/09/11 - Comment #66032: You can get some tomatillos, onion, lime, s & p, and make some salsa verde. Or put it into some veggie chili. Or dry a bunch.

tinypliny writes at 09:41:25 11/08/11 - Comment #66026: If you are feeling adventurous, you could make jalapeÃ±o pickle. Chop them into discs. Take a HUGE piece of ginger, chop it into roughly same sized bits as the jalapeÃ±os. add chopped limes or lemons, salt VERY liberally. Store in a glass jar in the fridge for future use.

tinypliny writes at 09:38:56 11/08/11 - Comment #66025: Chop them into everything. :)

They last forever if stored in the crisper tray.

Passed!

I passed the New York State bar exam! I won't get admitted to practice until late February, assuming I pass the last hurdle - a "character & fitness review".

I'm also taking the PA bar exam at the end of February.

My partner, who will join full time in January, has 10 years experience in a very relevant job and will have an impressive credential soon that gives him the same superpowers to practice in front of the IRS that I will (eventually) as a lawyer. We're really smart nerds and we're also very good at communicating and listening.

Sword collection?

I had a wonderful time at the (e:strip) halloween party! Thank you, (e:pmt) for hosting. Somehow I ended up with a sword collection. Not all are plastic, either!
