Smitten Kitchen

I found this wonderful blog and besides the mouthwatering photos and recipes, there are also some neat articles, like this one. Inspiring, eh? I must face it - I'm messy. I'm a messy crafter and a messy cook. I can definetly use some of these tips :)

Eggplant * tomato * onion * garlic * bread * olive oil * salt * black pepper * parsley * coriander

beringela * tomate * cebola * alho * pão * azeite * sal * pimenta preta * salsa * coentros

Save-your-veggies-before-they-rotten soup

All of these (except for the green beans) peeled and cut up into a pan of boiling, salty water plus 3 garlic cloves. Mash after cooked. Add dried coriander and parsley, some ground black pepper and a tablespoon of olive oil.

Necesity is indeed the mother of inventions and this is one of the loveliest soups I've had. Reminded me of Scotland a bit... :)
