    I'll bring fresh bagels to trade. I had one on Sunday, and it was divine. Fresh from the oven, so the crust was still crispy and the middle was just the right chewiness. With cream cheese of course plus onion, tomato, lox, and capers. Mmmmmm.

    I know a place that has bagels so good you'll forget about the pretzel if you get a salt bagel. Meet me tomorrow at 09:15.

    Clearly the pear is to combine with the cheese to cleanse my palate between types of bread, but what are the grapes for?

    Oh. They are plastic grapes; just for show. I get it.

    I'll bring more cheese!

    I will bring hazelnut butter.

    I let myself buy a bag of roasted unsalted Oregon hazelnuts last week. I've actually been reasonable about not eating them too fast. In fact, they've been a really nice topping for a mayocoboa bean soup I made the other day. I'm surprised how many calories dried beans actually have; I love 'em.

    It was a no-brainer to turn this huge batch of beans into soup. I don't cook in the summer; no A/C in the house. I especially don't do long simmers or use the oven. I like to let my beans soak overnight then rinse a couple times a day until they almost sprout before cooking. It reduces available protein, but it increases bio-availability of some nutrients and allegedly makes them more digestible. The first beans I grabbed when I reached way back in the pantry were the mayocoba (a.k.a. Peruvian yellow beans, a.k.a. canary beans). They are so good. There were just so many, but rather than freeze some for later, I sauteed up a bunch of vegetables, then simmered with just a little water for a while, then simmered the beans a little longer, then pulled out a bunch of the beans and veggies and pureed the rest with an immersion blender before putting the chunky bits back. An ounce of hazelnuts very coarsely chopped really add to it. So good.

    And if it didn't actually have as many calories as it does, I wouldn't have any left. But I do, so today and tomorrow will also be soup days.

    I'm sure I'll make some. I have a few tricks that I'm happy to share. I hate how they make my house smell. I have a 75-year-old mill house that has been minimally upgraded. There's no vent hood over the stove. Is it worth the smell? Oh yeah.

    Pass the avocado toast please... if there's any left.

    My neighbor said she made some cheese souffle, and some was for me. She joked that, "If you're still counting calories, you can decline." I told her I can count big numbers no problem. Everyone is being extra special nice to me right now as I recuperate. I am grateful to have such an amazing group of friends who are also a solid support group.
