Romanian Graveyard I

K and I spent a lot of time wandering around graveyards in Romania. We're not particularly morbid, they just happen to be every where. I was struck by how beautiful they were. In a country that is predominately gray, the graveyards glow with vibrancy.

Soup Season!

Red Curry Carrot Soup
4-6 servings

1 lb of carrots peeled and chopped
1 yellow onion sliced
1 sweet potato peeled and chopped
1 large garlic clove diced
half a can of red curry paste
1 quart of veg. stock
healthy dashes of dried basil, coriander, ginger, and salt
a quick dash of cayenne
bag of baby spinach

Saute onion and garlic with some olive oil until tender, add red curry paste and a bit of stock. Put the rest of the stock on in a bigger pot. Add the carrots and potatoes to the pan with the onions, add more curry paste to taste, add herbs. When stock starts to boil add carrots and potatoes, cook and cover until tender over medium heat. Puree in batches until smooth. When all the soup is pureed add the bag of spinach and stir until just wilted.

Then eat it with a good piece of olive bread toast and share with friends :)
