10. CULINARY CORNER: High Protein Roasted Cream of Mushroom Soup—Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Fill a rimmed baking sheet pan with assorted mushrooms cut in half, half an onion sliced, and half a garlic clove in its papery outer peel. Drizzle everything with 2 TBS olive oil and salt and pepper. Roast for 30 minutes until mushrooms are brown. Put the mushrooms in a Dutch oven along with 3-4 cloves of the roasted garlic squeezed out of the outer peel, 4 cups of stock or bone broth (any flavor), 1 cup of cottage cheese, and a couple of sprigs of thyme. Heat and puree the soup with an emulsion blender until smooth. Serve with a swirl of cream, and make extra roasted mushrooms to chop on top of the soup.

ANSWER TO #7: Glabella is the space between your eyebrows. The fifth finger or toe is called a minimus. Now you know.
