In honor of my announcement yesterday, a soup!

Nothing says, โ€œsexyโ€ like a seasonal thick and creamy cream-less green soup dribbling down your chinny chin chin while you try to figure out where exactly in your mouth the soup actually went.

This is 98% of what I think about while โ€œeatingโ€ these days – where is the food in comparison to all the braces? And my tongue…what do I do with that thing? And while we’re at is, where is it? Where is my tongue? The mouth-to-metal-to-food ratio is a very complicated balance that may take an entire two years to learn.

Eff figuring out the balance, Iโ€™ll just drink a beer with my asparagus soup dribble, thankyouverymuch.

ย My dribble brings all the boys to the yard. <- Forgive me.

Enough about me.

Letโ€™s talk about you.

Whoa, I just got distracted by this super large body builder looking man with a caramel macchiato who sat down next to his friend (Iโ€™m in a coffee shop right now, you see) and said, โ€œthis looks taaaastYYYY,โ€ raising the pitch of his voice for the eeeeeeee part. Please tell me this makes you chuckle the way it does me. I could watch overly masculine men saying really un-masculine things in reference to un-masculine coffee beverages all the livelong day, it simply does something for my humorosity.

You guys, I ate a pint of ice cream last night, no lie. An ENTIRE pint.

And today, I feel great, save for the belly bloat. Like, I think I needed the 100g of sugar and 1,000 calories. Braces (<-that’s me, I nicknamed myself. Clever, right?) needs a pint of snickerdoodle ice cream like a dude needs a swift kick to the nuuuuh-uh, we were talking about you.

Back to the you discussion.

Letโ€™s discuss why you should 200% make this soup (5 reasons):

1.) Asparagus is totes in season, and it wonโ€™t be forever, son! Put it in eeeeโ€™erythang, hot dawg! <- this is a direct quote from Brad Pitt circa Cool World

2.) Leeks are also in season and by golly they are grrrreat!

3.) Intermission

4.) This bisque is dairy-free, replacing cream with coconut milk. No gluten for thickening, just a gahforsaken yam. Can we even call it a bisque? Better see that the fuss is all about!

5.) Itโ€™s taaastYYYYY!
