Today is my day off, and I’m making some soup. The soup I’m making this afternoon is ‘throw the kitchen sink at it’ soup. I’ve cooked some beans and pulses, sauteed some onions and bacon, then added carrots, potatoes, baby sweetcorn and butternut squash. All this was added to tinned tomatoes and chicken stock, with some herbs and seasoning, and it’s on the boil now.
If you want some, let me know!
I love watercress. The only problem with buying watercress in the supermarket is that it doesn’t have a very good shelf life. But my eyes lit up when I visited our local Sainsbury last night. They were selling ‘living watercress’. It’s in a pot, and you need to keep it well watered. But you harvest it as you want it.
I’ve seen living salad on the supermarket shelves before, but not watercress. I’ll report back as to whether it kept well.
Tesco had this wine at half price a few weeks back, and I bought half a dozen. It’s a great wine from South Australia – big and bold. As the label says: Dark, ripe and intense with rich plum, black cherry aromas…displays flavours of plum, chocolate, cassis. I can highly recommend it.
(Writes note to self – buy some more when it’s on offer again).
