good evening all
4.3 today
another soggy day here, it's been tipping down all day.
thank you all for your kind support of my seasonal blues
however I have managed to get going and cook a piece of pork for tomorrow's meal and roast some parsnips left over from Christmas so that I can make some curried parsnip soup. Bit carbier than usual but not too bad if you keep the soup base closer to the bacon and veg version, parsnip has quite a pervasive taste I find so you don't need a massive amount to give it that flavour, especially not if you're adding curry. I try to keep a bit of homemade chicken curry back for the purpose too. Adds to the protein content
Back into the kitchen to make some red cabbage to go with the pork now. A tiny bit of apple added at the last minute but mostly the apple flavour comes from using apple cider vinegar. smoked bacon and a shallot too of course
should have mellowed nicely by tomorrow.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@lindisfel - thank you for identifying my waterfall, it wasn't named in the image I saw
@gennepher - Henrietta, what a charming name for a quail
glad you got to share more time together with your friends.
I like your hopeful art today with it's diffused warm light.
@Krystyna23040 - so glad that Archie is making such steady progress
@dunelm - quite 'middle earth' reminiscent today, I really like it, it's such detailed work for such a small piece of paper. The results from these different types of paper are interesting
I love the idea of the world trip planning
@ianpspurs - your poor MIL, hugs to her, what a way to treat those who are already in the most vulnerable category
Hope she's happily warm and dry now.
@Muddy Cyclist - Wow, that was a quick turn round for your specs.
I love your painting, especially the way you have the light streaming through the trees and the colours reflecting in the water
