Date: 2011-01-23 01:29 am (UTC)The soup was mostly carrot-y once pureed, and spicy with black pepper. There is much left over: I should freeze at least half of what's left, since it was a huge batch. (I have 5-6 kinds of soup in the freezer; I suspect I'll be eating those down more once the deep winter share ends in March, unless I start doing more pickling again. No clue why I've been lame about that recently).
I also had some sliced, lightly-salted slices of watermelon radishes, which are much less sharp than regular radishes, also prettier (as long as they don't sit around for hours). I need to put them in a not-quite-radish box in my head, to remind myself to eat them faster, since I do like them once they're sliced up.
Never got around to the pineapple.
Also, finished off a bottle of Baron Herzog Contour 2007, some of which was in the soup. Yum, though my tolerance seems to be down; less than half a glass made my cheeks feel rosy...
