"I WANT RESTITUTION!!!"
I was a man (not really) with a plan (yes, really). I had a bunch of orders for chili, soup and lots of other good stuff and was determined to get everything done today.
The chili-making went smoothly. My pumpkin soup, however, was a completely different matter. It seemed so promising in the beginning, every step going exactly as planned. I mean, come on. I've only made this dish a few hundred times before.
But you know how some princes turn into pumpkins? Well, this pumpkin turned into a little punk. After pureeing my lovingly sautéed and roasted vegetable mixture together with my simmered-for-hours homemade chicken stock, I tasted the mixture. Hmmm. Bland.
I hadn't really added any other bells and whistles yet other than salt and pepper, so I shrugged it off and added my spices. Still off. Way off.
