Cold, Wet and Windy

Feels like a good day to make soup! I got two bags of 50% off parsnips the other day, curried parsnip soup feels like just the thing.

I'll cook the blackberries and pass them through a seive ready to make blackberry and apple jam tomorow too.

Then it will be a nice bowl of thai red curry and Strictly.

What are you up to to today?

  • I love soup. I have a soup maker, although I only like smooth soup. I’m not a fan of chunky soup. I like lentil soup, and I like leek and potato soup best. 

  • I'm old fashioned and use a big saucepan and a stick blender, this soup will be smooth but I like my leek and potato a bit lumpy.

    With Strictly I just enjoy the dancing and the judges comments, Craig's usually the one to pick up on ilegal moves, although I'm not sure of the rules of competition ballroom dancing, to be honest pretty much all I know about dance comes from watching Strictly. I never realised ballroom dancing had rules about what moves you could or couldn't do, or that every dance had a story behind it and I'm still not sure I understand it all. Being the simpleton that I am I just thought it was a set of moves for each particular dance in time to the music, but then I don't understand musical beats and stuff, even AI pretty much gave up trying to explain it to me.
