Cooking Mis-turns

Ok, just a quick note to say it snowed this morning in Oklahoma!!!!!!!!!  Loved it! I loved seeing the snow, I loved being the snow.  I didn't even mind driving in the snow.  But dang it was cold all day.

Done with that, today's blog is about cooking.  More particularly, the unsuccessful parts of cooking.  I was exactly unsuccessful, I just failed to make something good on the palate.  In an attempt to reduce my weight and crappy food intake, at Whole Foods this weekend, I picked up some celery and vegetable broth.  So for dinner tonight, I decided to make a yummy low-calorie vegetable soup.  I sauteed some celery, a carrot and some scallions in a sauce pan until cooked and then added the vegetable broth until warm, like soup.  It was BLAND!  I did some garlic powder and salt while cooking but that did not help, it smelled good and looked good but upon tasting, it had a quick burst of flavor then nothing.  The vegetables were good, but I'm glad I had some toast and cottage cheese to accompany my meal.  My soup is now in the freezer until I can figure out a way to doctor it up.  Any suggestions are welcome.  Maybe it just needs time to marinate.
