Green-Pea Soup with Cheddar-Scallion Panini

Vibrant-hued pea soup is a wonderful dish to help usher in spring. Alongside it, toasty cheese sandwiches get a touch of seasonal greenery from sliced scallions.

Prep: 20 minutes
Total: 20 minutes
Ingredients

Serves 4

* 3 tablespoons butter
* 4 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
* 3 boxes (10 ounces each) frozen peas
* 1 can (14.5 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
* 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp white cheddar (6 ounces)
* 8 slices rye sandwich bread
* Coarse salt and ground pepper
* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium. Add scallion whites, and cook, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add peas, broth, and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until peas are tender, about 5 minutes; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, toss cheddar with scallion greens. Make 4 sandwiches with cheddar mixture and bread.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low. Place sandwiches in skillet, and cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding remaining tablespoon butter to skillet to cook second side.
4. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth (filling blender only halfway to prevent spattering). If necessary, adjust consistency with a little bit of water. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Slice each panini into four

So, using the aromacreme texture as a goal, I made my own. I had recently bought and used Florere, which is also a cream deodorant and it's perfectly good—it just doesn't smell amazing. It's also a bit grainy. Here's what I ended up mixing together for this batch:

3 Tablespoons shea butter
3 Tablespoons baking soda
2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 Tablespoons cocoa butter
2 vitamin E oil gel caps (puncture and squeeze out the oil)
Essential Oil (I used ylang yang and orange)

I melted all the ingredients (except the oils) and gave it a good stir. This only took about 30 seconds in the microwave. Then added the oils, stirred again, and poured it in a jar, then placed it in the fridge to set. This recipe filled the jar in my hand, which is a 1/2 pint.

I bought the cocoa butter and shea butter here. I'm on week 3 and it works so well, I am stunned. When it's cold in the bathroom, it's not as smooth, but the warmth from my fingers softens it up enough to spread on. On hot days the texture is perfect. I can scoop a little bit out of the jar, roll it into a pea-sized ball, and rub it in. I am very very happy with it. I found other recipes online for cream deodorants that have beeswax, vegetable glycerin—all kinds of combos.
It smells wonderful. I had to add a bit more essential oil than you think—shea butter smells strong, not bad, just shea butter-y. If you try this I would highly recommend splitting ingredients with a friend and having a I'm Not A Dirty Hippie party, otherwise you'll end up with a lot of ingredients that could spoil in a year or so. In the next batch I think I will add a little vegetable glycerin to make it softer.

So, next up, homemade toothpaste. I know you can just use baking soda and water, but I also want to try it with a flavor and make it into a paste.
Oh! To report back: I am on month 2 of no shampoo but only baking soda and apple cider vinegar rinse. More info here. And I forgot to mention, I haven't used shampoo on the girls' hair in about 2 years. I know this sounds insane, but the soapy bath water has always been enough. I really hate worrying about soap in their eyes and their hair is always clean and not greasy because I've never used shampoo that has stripped the oils from their hair to begin with. I swear, this is why. I'm just saying. I'm not sure why I didn't make this connection when shampooing my own hair, but I didn't until this latest baking soda kick I have been on.
Occasionally now I do use baking soda and vinegar on them (it's so great because there is no lather to worry about) but usually it's still just a good rise with the bath water. The baking soda is easy to just mix and pour carefully on their heads, but the vinegar I have to dilute a TON and then add essential oil so it smells good, otherwise they freak out. I have a bottle with a spray mister so I can just spritz on the acv and rise. They don't even notice. Sadie's hair is getting quite long, and the vinegar really helps with tangles, so this is awesome. Both girls have very different types of hair, and so far so good. I swear they aren't the stinky kids!

**update: some answers to questions (And thank so much for all the great info you all are leaving! woot!)

-Is the deodorant white or clear? sort of both. Goes on white-ish and gets clear-ish later. I haven't really tested it sleeveless. Does is really work? Yes, for me it does, but you know that's just me—we all react different to this type of stuff, but yes, I can tell you after 3 weeks of using it: 100% NO STINK added on 2008-11-01
