What a lovely idea, Marie- thank you for inviting me to see what you eat. It is very beautiful.
Your Thai dish looks truly inspiring. Which is also code for intimidating. I mean color pictures, fish paste (?!!) a tablecloth and all. But seriously, kudos to you for taking this thing seriously. I would rather be invited to dinner than look at your leftovers, but at least we get to talk to each other, right?
Please forgive me if my recipe tones this thing down a notch (for people who accidentally eat 7-9 peanut butter blossoms on the weekends) by contributing the ASPARAGUS SOUP I made up last night- As near as I can remember, not having photographed it.
In a few cups of vegetable stock simmer 1/2 -one onion, one potato, three ribs celery and finely chopped celery leaves, 1 to 2 c baby bella mushsrooms, half -1 diced red pepper and many asparagus. I don't know how much, about half or more of the big bunch you get at Costco - all finely chopped if you don't have a Vita-stinking mixer- no bitterness there. Add salt, pepper and whatever spices you prefer. I add garlic and secret herbs I crush under the heel of my name brand boots. Just Kidding! My boots are from Costco.
When the veggies are tender, pour them into a blender and beat them to a pulp. Gently. I have to do this in about three batches. Add stock to make your desired consistency. I leave mine thick. It is rather delicious with peanut butter blossoms. Only three at a time. I have also added spinach and carrots, but prefer the original grouping I have named. To health! Love, nanny

nanny, it is NOT fair to share a recipe and list as the ingredients "whatever spices you prefer" -- i don't know anything about spices and will need to have a little bit better direction than that. :)
hahahahahaha - first of all, no tablecloth. I mean seriously. I own only one, and it comes out MAYBE once a year. second of all, my fish sauce is your fish sauce. let me know when you want to borrow it. I even have leftover lemon grass for the taking...
third, why would I take pictures of the three separate occasions on which my children ate HOT DOGS in the last week? it would ruin my image. trust me - you don't want to come over to dinner. I could be interested in a pot luck, though - that could be fun. and intimidating (inspiring?)
but still I say YUM - I have had asparagus staring from my fridge for too long, and now I know what to do with it. thanks!
and p.s. how about posting the recipe for peanut butter blossoms? they sound divine.
