I’ve never made tomato soup, so I wanted to try one… (hint: it didn’t work exactly as planned..) I watched a few videos and decided I’d try to make one where the fresh ingredients are first roasted, but I also wanted to have some marinated ingredients there. So this became a multi-day experiment…
Hi. I now have a twitter account and I would really like to know if you make something using any of the recipes here! Please tweet me @AnnaExperiments and let me know if you made something!
Also feel free to drop a line if you have a question or anything else to say!
ps. I also appreciate if you point out spelling errors on my blog, I’ve known to be a.. somewhat of a typo-maker 😉

When you have multiple mouths to feed, there will be no one mix of ingredients that’ll satisfy everything. So when you’re making a summertime meal and have access to decently large grill, it’s easy to just prep ingredients and let everyone choose their own mix. It’s also really easy way to cook.
While I kind of like Sushi, I can’t really be called a sushi-lover since I don’t like almost any traditional sushi fillings. However I was thinking about making sushi with my choosing of ingredients. It had to be tested beforehand though, so I though I’d make a decent meal out of the test.
I mentioned earlier that I like using one ingredient, but many variants? Did I also mention that I adore onions. I’ve always loved them. Fried, boiled, baked, raw. Doesn’t matter, I’ll eat it if it’s onion. So naturally I had to make a separate dish out of them.
This is a two, or three-part recipe, but trust me, it’s easy and was definitely worth it!

I enjoy using one type of ingredient in multiple varieties in one dish. I’ve used onions for this for a really long time. When I was shopping one time looking at different potatoes I remembered that what we here call ‘Bataatti’ is in fact called a ‘sweet potato’ in English. So I decided to make a soup where the main ingredients would be different potatoes.
Okay that title might be going a bit too far, but that essentially is what these are, or at least look alike. So. There are like bazillion sweet snacks out there, candies, chocolate, cookies, etc, etc. But the amount of salty snacks are really limited. I was trying to figure out what to do when I want something salty to snack on.
Now, I must say I’m not rich in money in any way, shape or form. So I’ve made do with some shifty kitchen equipment for the longest time. I’ve had my two favorite knives, a Chinese Cleaver that I got as a present and a Santoku-style cheap imitation that I received by ordering a magazine or something. I really would like to buy a few decent kitchen knives, but I can’t afford paying 50 bucks a knife for 4-5 knives that I want. But I really needed something new.
So one day I was planning our meals and I found out that not only did I have one packet of pre-marinated chicken strips that should be made that day, I had three. Cue frantic “oh crap what do I do with this much chicken I can’t just fry them all I should make something easier with it heck why didn’t I notice earlier..” Well, you get the point. Thankfully I love soup and I’m even not the only one. So I grabbed a bunch of veggies and a pot…
