Personals: New bike seeking bob's nuts. You won't be disappointed.

First, the last soupcycle was great!

It was a flurry of activity that morning when I realized the kitchen we normally cook from - CWB - was being used for a weekend-long event...but Mark graciously agreed to allow the explosion of pea soup to take over his apartment. Thanks to Mark for helping cook, and thanks Julia, for coming through at the last possible moment to cycle around the U-district and hunt down hungry people. We gave soup to more teens than we ever have, but found the U-district to be a little hostile in general. The highlight was giving soup to an exit ramp lady who was SO happy she practically hugged us.

The split pea recipe, from the lovely Emma, included hominy and sweet potato, plus a full bulb of roasted garlic. Totally delicious.

On Sunday the 31st we ride again, with a nutty soup in tow. Will be the inaugural soupcycle for my new bike! If you have any good recipes, want to ride around or want to donate ingredients, let me know. We'll most likely cook from my new casa in the Central District, and probably ride through the Intn'l District and Pioneer Square areas.

LOVE!
