I made an interesting soup. Here was my method: brown pork sausage. Add white onion. Add portabella mushrooms. Add pinto beans, barley, and mung beans. Add lemon juice, Tamari sauce, and water. Season with an herb mixture and with a tumeric/salt mixture. It turned out somewhat citrusy because of the lemon juice and because both the herb and salt mixtures includes some citrus peel.
Tonight I am making some de-veined turnip greens, riced sweet potatoes (with regular sweet potato additives such as cinnamon and black strap molasses) and trout. With the trout I am going to be a bit aggressive and saute some onion, asafoetida, and cumin.
For post-prandial entertainment I learned about a mathematical scheme for creating music. You just pick some chord qualities and some intervals, and let the fun begin. I'm thinking for the qualities Δ7, m7+5, ø, dom9. And for the 2nd and 4th quality I will make them major or minor depending on which one is easier to form based on the voicing I choose. So the formula is chord-down a third-chord-down a third-chord-down a fifth--chord down a third.
so that would be EΔ7, C#m7+5, Aø, D#9, BΔ, etc.
