Hearty Veggie Soup with White Beans and Kale
Hearty Veggie Soup with White Beans and Kale
Of the many reasons to have a dog, my favorite is his instinctual hunting behaviors best observed while cooking. As I chopped up the vegetables for this hearty veggie soup, my 60-pound bundle of joy was at my feet inhaling any wayward carrots or kale that came his way.
He’s like a fluffy, cuddly vacuum.
My dog’s name is Feynman (pronounced Fine-man). He’s named after famed physicist Richard Feynman because my ex-boyfriend loved physics and because I loved my ex-boyfriend I suggested we name the adorable fluff ball Feynman.
And that’s how Feynman got his name.
Last week, at the dog park, a guy who I call Dog Park Guy — because everyone knows the dogs’ names, but not each other’s — asked if Feynman is Jewish.
“No,” I replied, “he hasn’t picked a team yet, but he is named after a Jewish person.”
“Oh, really, who?” he asked.
“Richard Feynman, the physicist.”
He looked confused for a moment and then said, “Oh, it’s Feynman with an F. I thought his name was Hymen.”
What?
“Um, no. It’s not. His name’s Feynman.”
“It always sounds like you say Hymen — I guess I missed the F.” He paused and said, “Isn’t Hymen a…”
“I think we both know what that is,” I said, cutting him off. “and, no, I didn’t name him that”.
We laughed, but inside I was dying. Who else thinks his name is Hymen?
Now every time I say his name publicly I’m like F-F-F-Feynman.
And F-F-F-Feynman loves when I cook especially when it’s a weekend project like soup, which requires the chopping of all sorts of tasty bits, which, if he’s lucky, will fall to the floor for him to suck up.
