As many as 100 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and other victims of sexual abuse are expected to attend a rally Wednesday in Washington, D.C. as a bipartisan Congressional effort gains steam to force the U.S. Department of Justice to make public its controversial files on the disgraced sex trafficker.

I am proud to report that this soup has almost zero in common with commercial canned tomato soup. I haven't eaten tomato soup in 40 years, because I hated the Campbell's variety so much. This stuff was the bomb, if I do say so myself.

They were a mix of varieties out of my garden. A bunch of red plum tomatoes, Red Siletz, yellow brandywine, Black Krim, some various cherry tomatoes. Any combination will do. You can also used whole canned tomatoes.

After a nice long simmer, I removed the bay leaf, then used an immersion blender to make it smooth (a blender would work too). Last add was about a cup of heavy cream. So yum. I think it gets more interesting when you use a variety of different tomato varieties.
YakHappy (@yakhappy.bsky.social) reply parent
Welp, I kind of winged it. I cooked down about a gallon of tomatoes, then caramelized about one large onion and two big garlic cloves. I added the onions to the cooked tomatoes, plus a bay leaf, red pepper flakes, some fresh thyme, and basil, salt and pepper and a cup of chicken broth. 1/

I'm going to swim against the current and tell you what I did. 8 years ago I had fatty liver & high cholesterol numbers. I started eating a low carb, high protein diet with enough fat for satiety (not necessarily high fat, just enough not to be hungry). 8 years later? All better!

We are at war with our own illegitimate government. There will be casualties, and the athletes are just one group of victims of this fascist regime. Folks will be jailed, beaten, harassed, deported. I am not deaf to the injuries the athletes will sustain, but they are just a few of many.

The rainbow colors did not affect the purpose of the crosswalk. It isn't an issue of standardization (IMO as a civil engineer who used to design roads.) This is fully about dehumanization of the LGBTQ+ community. It's about erasing history, just like so many other GOP moves.
