Oh, this? It's just a bowl of leftovers.Leftovers straight from New Year's Day, dumped in a pot with some saved bean water (that stuff is gold) and a little "real" water, with a little smidge of cream cheese melted into it. No extra seasonings necessary; the leftovers were spicy and tasty.
I don't expect you to make this, so I'm glossing over the details. You're welcome.
But I just must comment on the topping of cilantro leaves.
First, we really needed greens (even though the soup had added chopped cabbage; yum, but no color).
Second, Cranky has been watching how Jamie Oliver applies leaves on top of his dishes, so seemingly insouciantly. But!
Look: He pinches the leaves, hovers his hand over the top midpoint of the food, and releases so that there's a pile, a tent, a peak. Rather than a limp lie-down.
The photograph agrees with me that this is cool. Look at the shadow on the far side of the bowl.
Yay, Cranky. And happy birthday.

Cranky's birthday? A hundred hugs. And many more herbs and spices.
Kudzu: (Psst. Tomorrow.) Thanks for the hugs, sez he.
For the curious: Medicare.
Plus, Jamie Oliver uses herbs liberally, too, so they really count both in flavor and in visual pleasure. I have a crush on Jamie and so does My Beloved.
Zooms: I've loved him since he was the Naked Chef.
Don't know whether Medicare covers herbs and spices (prolly not), but it's a fine place to land for us freelancers!
Ooo Happy Birthday to the Crankster!
Greens are good, I suffer terribly if I don'g get regular greens - ooo, almost 6:30, Jamie's 30 minute meals is on in a tick :)
That cilantro makes it look good enough to eat! LOL I will have to try my bruising and dropping technique.
I am so glad they are showing Jaime's shows on Cooking Channel.Happy BD to Cranky!April's BD was Sat.Capricorns rock.
Happy birthday to the one and only Cranky! May he be forever young - eating greens helps!
Kudzu: Medicare is awesome. I, for now, am kicked off employer coverage and doing COBRA for a few years. Then I'll have to pay full freight for a while until I get old enough.
Mouse: Cranky says Thanky!!
For greens today: seaweed. Yes!
Hazel: I know; it was fugly, but the garnish almost helped. Good luck on your application skills.
Greg: Happy Birthday to April! From us both.
Nancy: Words of wisdom. And sometimes words of craving. Thanks.
