ARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! Why can't people let kids be kids? Helmet - yeah, sure -
keep him from breaking his gourd. But skinned knees and elbows are
re-inforcements of lessons that say "Don't try that again, that way!"

If you wrap a kid in six feet of cotton batting he will be safe. And never,
ever, learn any of life's little lessons.

           - pieces
     15 oz Can cannellini or other
           - white beans; drained and

      5 oz Baby spinach

MMMMM---------------------------PISTOU--------------------------------
      3 lg Garlic cloves
    1/2 ts Kosher salt
  1 1/2 c  Fresh basil leaves
    1/4 c  Extra-virgin olive oil
      1 oz Grated parmesan
 
  Our soupe au pistou, a Provençal celebration of vegetables,
  is light and brothy but chock-full of flavor. We’ve added
  a piece of Parmigiano-Reggiano rind—an old Italian trick
  that adds depth. But what makes this soup is the pistou
  that’s stirred in before serving—it really packs a punch.
  All you need to make it supper-in-a-bowl is a loaf of crusty
  bread.
  
  Make soup: Cut fennel stalks flush with bulb, discarding them,
  and trim off any tough outer layers from bulb. Chop fennel
  in 1/2-inch pieces.
  
  Cook pancetta in oil in a 7- to 9-quart heavy pot over
  moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just beginning
  to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in fennel, onion, turnip,
  carrots,and cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until
  cabbage is wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Add cheese rind, squash,
  potato, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, salt, and water and bring
  to a boil.
  
  Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Add lima
  beans, green beans, and cannellini and simmer until veggies
  are tender, about 5 minutes. Discard cheese rind, thyme
  sprigs, and bay leaf. Stir in spinach and season with salt
  and pepper.
  
  Make pistou while soup is simmering: Mince and mash garlic
  to a paste with salt (or pound with a mortar and pestle).
  Blend with basil in a food processor until basil is finely
  chopped. Add oil and cheese and purée.
  
  Top servings with a spoonful of pistou, then stir.
