Vegetable Soup, Veggie Meat Balls

Every once in a while a wrench gets thrown in the cogs and dishes that were planned never come to fruition. This can become a problem when the dishes have perishable ingredients that are wasting away in the kitchen. This sort of event calls for ingenuity, or more often just throwing them all together in a pot. An excellent vegetable soup was constructed using Broccoli, Asparagus, Red Potatoes, Mushrooms, Carrots, Barley, and Onions. I think there were actually a few more ingredients, and I've just forgotten them.

As for tonight's dish, we had a simple Tomato-Basil pasta using fresh basil from the garden and some fancy olive oil and balsamic vinegar that are printed all in Italian, so the only thing I can tell you about them is that they're delicious. Along with the other ingredients were Kalamata Olives, meatballs made out of some 'Gimmie Lean' meat impostor that Dustin picked up on a whim. They turned out very well, but still with room for improvement. There's always room more improvement. Always. Go improve.
