Beetroot soup...
Just finished Sunday lunch crazy-time in the kitchen...
My eldest sprog, having spent 25 years avoiding all things domestic has bought herself a cookery book.
Today we sampled the first dish: Borscht. Absolutely delicious-
Therefore, I commend to you, The Conran Cookbook.
However- before you put the beetroot, liquid, and other veg' in your blender, might I humbly suggest that you put a cloth over the top of it before you blitz, 'just in case'
'Just in case' wasn't observed in our nice cream kitchen , and therefore we now have lovely purply-pink smudges- well, just about everywhere, actually.
No problem- well done, number one- your soup was Great!
Then my son's beautiful and very Lovely French Girlfriend, made a cake to celebrate Father's Day here in the UK
One of the best fruit cakes I have ever tasted- sadly eldest sprog hates fruit cake- and was too polite to say so, and so fed it surreptitiously to the hound-dogs under the table- All was going really well (no one, especially not LFG, noticing) up to the point where dh saw what eldest sprog was doing and said, 'If you make those dogs sick with that cake, you're clearing it up-'
Great work you're doing there for d'etente, darling!
Happy Sunday everyone!
Love
Susan
