I made Miso soup following these instructions last weekend. It was awesome, and pretty easy once I acquired the ingredients.

I love that Newman's Own was an unintentional, but hugely successful and positive thing.
The work he did with children is simply awe-inspiring.
As are "Fig Newmans"--one of the most delicious cookies you can get in a package.

The Passing of "Newman's Own" Founder, Actor Paul Newman

There was an e-mail circulating about a month ago. A woman went into a little counter restaurant in Connecticut only to see Paul Newman at the counter. He gave her a little smile and went back to reading his paper. Respecting his privacy, she went about her business and placed an order for a piece of pie (or something similar) to-go. He nodded to her again as she left. Upon reaching her car, she realized she didn't have her keys or her pie. So she went back inside sheepishly, looking for her keys and her purchase. Mr. Newman flashed her one of his classic smiles and with his blue eyes twinkling, he remarked to her "Your keys are on the counter and the pie is in your purse". The e-mail came with a picture of him in a self-effacing pose. What a class act! The world was a better place with him in it. He will be sorely missed.

I want some. Now.

That kombu is the same brand I get, it's from Hokkaido supposedly the best place for kombu.

I believe you're using firm tofu though? We only use silken in soup, traditionally.

Have you ever added a few dried anchovies? They add to the richness of the umami in the dashi. Yum.

One of my favourite quotes is a Paul Newman quote "Why go out for hamburgers when you have steak at home?"

I hope his brand remains in its full integrity. It's a rare person who makes a mark in the acting world and the philanthropic world as vividly as Paul Newman. He was a real class act.

What a full, wonderful life--sad, of course, that he is gone but like everyone has said, he truly made every moment count.

I knew he was really sick a few weeks ago. Still, this is a very sad day indeed. He was an amazing person, someone we can all learn from. In this day and age, that is unique.
