Minestrone is a thick Italian soup , and the ultimate way of using up any leftover vegetables, Pasta and even meats. Minestrone Soup can be vegetarian or not and there is no set recipe for Minestrone soup so you can be a bit experimental with it! I added a photo of a recipe for the Minestrone soup as well as a recipe for the flatbread. I did this yesterday at @easycooklouth and it was something I'd never tried to make before but I love experimenting with flexible recipes. I've looked online and there are various ways of making this , for example, adding tinned tomatoes or cannellini beans.

• 30g pasta / Spaghetti or similar
• 1 Carrot
• 1 glove of garlic
• 1 potato
• 2 sticks of celery
• 1 Brown Onion
• 50 ml of tomato passata
• 1/4 Cabbage
• I added half a tin of Tomato soup
•600 ml of veg Stock
• Black Pepper
• Glug of Olive Oil
• Optional - grated cheese

Step 1 - chop up all of the veg into rough small size chunks.
Step 2 - peel the potato and dice.
Step 3 - put a splash of olive oil into a large saucepan and add the onions, garlic and Carrots for 2 mins.
Step 4 - add the rest of the veg - Carrots , Potatoes , Celery (whatever veg you want) to the pan cover and continue cooking on a low / medium heat for a further 5 to 10 mins.
Step 5 - next you need to add your Passata , chopped tomatoes and stock. Mix together , cover and cook for a further 30 on a low heat.
Step 6 - at this stage you need to break up your spaghetti into small pieces.
Step 7 - after 30 mins , check that your veg is slightly soft and add your Pasta to the pan. Cook for another 5 - 10 mins or until the pasta is soft.
Step 8 - serve to your preference. I added grated cheese and ate with the flatbread which was yum!
My partner and I have food allergies and digestive/immune issues, and due to my partner only finding this out recently we havent been able to buy all the food we both need to eat! My partner is basically loosing a lot of weight and starving at work because we dont have any food shes not allergic to for her to eat. I just need $200 to get us some foods that dont make us sick, it has been really hard for my partner so if you can pls show us some support.
Every time i tell people i buy groceries every 14 days they seem shocked by this and tell me they buy groceries every day or several times a week.
That in turn blows my mind, as someone who couldn’t possibly hate buying groceries more than i do, i can’t imagine doing it that often.
Bonus if you tell me in the tags how you feel about shopping for groceries. Do you hate it with a passion like me? Feel indifferent to it, just another chore? Or do you somehow love it?
edited 22/02/2024 - my mum helped me raise the match goal from £100 to £200
edited again 22/02/2024 - I met and exceeded my goal! Donations are still very welcome because I think it's really impactful to show our collective donations, I will close this on the 27th when I am paid and can make my donation
Idea credit goes to @ibtisams and I was inspired by @stuckinapril and @geekydragon !
I am doing a donation match!
I will match every pound donated, from now until next week, up to £200! I will donate £50 regardless of the outcome.

1. Donate any amount you can to one of the places below:
UNRWA | Palestine children's relief fund | esims (link is a how to guide!) | Operation olive branch (any family that resonates with you)
2. Send me proof/receipt showing the date and amount, cross out any other information you wish
(currency does not matter, I will convert it and donate the equivalent in GBP)
3. I will update in the reblogs how much has been donated so far, and will make my matched donation on the 27th of February (when I get paid the money I plan to donate)
I'm currently planning on splitting my donation across the above sources, but I will donate £200 total.

If we meet the match goal we will raise £400 for people who desperately need it right now! It's easy to feel a small donation doesn't help, so hopefully this is a way to illustrate how it all does really add up.
Any amount helps, if you have £1 to spare please do, but if you can donate more I urge you to
If you have nothing to spare, please reblog and do your daily click

kim is such a funny little guy like he emphasizes how little the rcm salary is when you ask about it (5500 reál annually- 460/mo) but here he is with his nice electronic sports watch and his little instant camera and his fancy revolutionary cosplay for plainclothes and he's living in the GRIH which can't be cheap and he's got his fancy little mnemotechnique notebooks which are like the moleskine of elysium i guess and his fancy little ballpoints that he does NOT want to share with you which i bet is because they cost him like a week of salary. and this is the rcm he's not getting stipends for supplies or watches or housing or probably even the gas for the kineema. poor as fuck but he is going to buy himself his little treats god damn it. if he lived in our world you know he'd be out getting himself a $9 vanilla soy milk half caf dirty chai iced latte every morning on the way to the station and eating instant noodles every night to claw out room in the budget for it
I think pantalone especially would love stockings for his darling. He loves them aesthetic already (you cannot tell me he isn’t a lil fashionista) but on you? Oh it makes him act like a starving beast. Ready to just tear them off like nothing and fuck you on his desk
oh, and the ones he buys you? expensive. now that he has the mora that he didn’t as a young man, he wants to spend it on the excess and luxury he was denied. there is no greater display of riches than using your wealth to buy something you are only too happy to destroy.
now this is gonna sound really stupid and i need no one to call me stupid about it -> it turns out when u make food that is more than the bare minimum to be edible. ie make it a lil fancy w a lot of flavors and textures going on (scary to me <- autist). u want to eat it more. and even tho its more work. sometimes the prospect of eating something that actually tastes great is motivating enough to get u thru the work. and so conversely it is easier to keep up a consistent eating routine. bc ur not also constantly bailing on planned mediocre dinners to eat all ur backup stock of emergency instant meals.
