Batard of white bread, chocolate cream cheese muffin, pink lady apples, normal and seconds potatoes, red and yellow onions, white mushrooms, 2 lbs of cubed buffalo, 3 lb boneless pork loin.

I'm going to try the "Beef and Barley Soup" (a half recipe, because I do not need 8 servings of anything) and the "Pork Chili with Cumin Polenta" from Sunday Soup -- I've managed to pick up three cookbooks this week -- Everyday Harumi and Kansha being the other ones.

I just need to pick up some carrots for the beef and barley soup, and some limes for the pork chili -- if I go to the co-op today, I'll probably get some celery and leeks as well, because their is this recipe for "Celery Bisque" that sounds fantastic -- I can make it next week and buy Blue Suede Moo from Kenswick Creamery for the accompanying "Stilton Toasts".

But first, time to boil potatoes for Heisser Kartoffelsalat (Hot Potato Salad -- made with bacon and vinegar). I'm going to try adding a juniper berry or two to the recipe, since I've finally gotten my hands on some.

I hear you on dried beans/hominy etc. It does taste better, a lot of the time. Thanks for the recs, I don't really know how to make veg stock yet, and the monastery soup book looks good. I agree, Sunday Soups looked really reasonable; there was another similar book I got out at the same time, but returned ASAP because it just seemed too frou-frou.

As far as I'm concerned, soup recipes should be easy -- chop this and that, add it to water, simmer, maybe stick it all in a blender at the end.

Frou frou is out, as it having to get twenty ingredients before starting, three of them different kinds of *fish* -- I'm looking at you bouillabaisse.
