sauté minced garlic and diced onion. add water and bring to a boil. add salt, pepper and olive oil. vegetable dices and root fruit slices. a few drops of white wine vinegar. and a handful of parseley, finely chopped. mix in a dash of kindness, a drop of hope. and a bucketful of love. simmer in a terracotta pot. invite friends and family. maybe even someone, you've just met recently. when all's arrived, and the table's set. put out the pot, see to it that it serves a lot. serve with slices of bread. sun-dried tomatoes and green salads, in a bed. keep in mind, that a witty conversation, almost always breaks the ice. a glass o' wine and soft mellow music, is also quite enjoyably nice. however it turns out, at the end of the day. you'll be able to say, you've made a mighty fine consommé.
