made another big pot of veggie soup today. this one has savoy cabbage, green beans, tomato juice, clove, chocolate, garlic, onion, carrot, potato, sage, pepper, wheat berries, urad dal, chana dal, green french lentils. YUM.

i also blended some spices and teas together. i'm drinking it with sweetened condensed milk. it smells like a spicy campfire:
smoky russian leaves (loose, organic, whole foods bulk), twinings orange pekoe ceylon (one bag), and an indian chai spice blend (cinnamon, fennel, pepper, cardamom, some other stuff), + some sugar. it smells like a spicy campfire. not bad, actually.

mmm, caffeine. i should just go take an antihistamine, but tea is so much yummier.

chocolate is a great savoury/smoky flavor. that's why it's so good in chili (cincinnati style) and mole. :)

i could probably add even more, but it's bitter, so i just add it for depth.
