There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

What went in my soup : Chorizo Onion Bellpeppers Leek Garlic Smoked paprika powder Good amount of Worcestershire saus Chilli powder Thyme Grilled bellpeppers on oil (in a jar) Tomato paste A can of diced tomatoes Beef stock Some kind of jerk spice I have laying around And salt and pepper to taste.
Quantities depending on what you have left over ;)
Cut the chorizo sausage, onion and bellpeppers in chunks. Saute those in that order. Throw in some finely chopped garlic and leek, smoked paprika powder and some grilled bellpeppers on oil out of a jar (you can make your own, but damn it's a hassle and for soup it doesn't matter much.). Add Worcestershire saus. Throw in the spices, the tomato paste and the canned tomatoes (again, use fresh if you want, but hassle + more expensive + in soup you won't taste the difference.) Add stock and let simmer for a good amount of time (30 minutes or so.) if you have any old bread left over, rip it to pieces and pour the soup over it. So good!
