 Dinner tonight was New Senate Soup from Be a Plant Based Woman Warrior, p. 135, with Ann's Short Flax Biscuits from Be a Plant Based Woman Warrior, p. 208.  The biscuits look like oatmeal cookies and I suppose they taste like them a bit if you left out the sugar and oil.  In other words, they are bland.  They aren't bad, just bland.  I would rate them a 4 out of 5.  The soup, on the other hand, was quite good in spite of looking suspiciously healthy.  I would rate it a 5 out of 5.  It had a good, beany flavor and seemed quite hardy.  I could eat this about twice a month.
