Squash Shoup

This is sort of for stealthmuffin, but others might like it too.

1 butternut squash, peeled, gutted, and cut into chunks
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 cube vegetable bouillon
~3/4 c. milk
salt and pepper to taste

Put the squash, onion, carrot, and bouillon in a pot with just enough water to cover them.
Boil until soft. (20 minutes, or so)
Blenderize contents of pot until very smooth. (You might need to dip out some of the water with a ladle to make it fit in the blender, but save it to add back in.)
Pour contents of blender back into pot.
Turn heat back on low, and stir in milk. Salt and pepper to taste. (We use ~2tsp salt and 1/4tsp pepper. Depends on the size of the squash.)
Serve hot, preferably with tasty bread.

Works with an immersion blender too, but if you're not careful, you'll turn your kitchen orange.
Milk could probably be omitted outright, but I'd be leery of using soymilk in its place.

More to come soon.

Style and more different style

So now pirateofcatan and I don't match at all, since he changed his immediately. And then I changed mine, too. It's probably for the best.

Going to a friend's to swap white elephants tonight. Should probably get going on home.

I think the ceiling in my office is leaking.
[pause while I open access hatch to check]
yep, it's leaking. The roof guys were here all day trying to fix friday's leak. Since they got here, two more leaks have appeared. I think the roof just wants attention. I put buckets under them all.

Home. Honest.
