Vegetable soup

No recipe for this one — it was a real clean-out-Liz's-fridge soup, with bits and bobs of the following:
onion
garlic
leek
carrots
celery
turnip
winter squash
white potatoes
purple potatoes
frozen spinach
homemade chicken or turkey stock
fresh dill, parsley and thyme
tomato paste
lemon juice
bay leaf

Everything just got chopped up and simmered together until the vegetables were tender. Then we hunkered down with Russian grey bread and cheese in one hand and soup spoons in the other, listening to some David Lee Roth a cappella rarities on FMU, and my little peasant heart sang to have  been party to making this feast from the scrapings of, if not a literal barrel, then the closest modern, urban approximation thereof.

Kitty's not too sure about David Lee Roth though.

Kitty?

The dog's name is Kitty? Oh that is just SO wrong (even if it is a nickname for Katherine). Poor dog.

We just finished the last bits of that soup and it was damn good.

Kitty LOVES David Lee Roth almost as much as she loves being named KITTY.
