Mush Over Rice


I wanted to use up the vegetables (zucchini, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, onions...) the night before in a big omelet or something, but we only had five eggs. So, this night I threw all the vegetables in a pot to simmer in beef broth. I knew the asparagus might turn icky, but I didn't really care; enough salt and pepper can help you forget the texture of stringy vegetables falling apart. That and a love of rainbow sherbet. After being warned that there wouldn't be time for Baskin Robbins if Scrappy spent two hours making faces at the mush, she ate everything green on her plate.
