Got any plans this weekend? Going away for a nice long weekend? Staying in and gaming for two days straight? Celebrating your divorce? We want to hear it 😎
Personally we’re just going to make some home made pizzas, and enjoy a bottle of red after the kids have (finally) gone to bed. Then we’re getting a rare evening to ourselves on Saturday night by heading out to a local restaurant.
I’m planning on spending most of the day tomorrow making 3 litres of fancy mushroom soup/sauce, to jar for meals over the next week.
And aside from that, a bit of cleaning and laundry and I’ll probably get back to work on the gouache portraits I’ve been experimenting with recently.
You fancy is fancy?
My fancy is fancy, but double entendre’s aside (sorry, I couldn’t help it), among other ingredients, I’m using a bunch of dried porcini and an unlabled bag of dried mushrooms from the Polish supernarket, along with a whole bunch of standard supermarket fresh mushrooms, and shallots and celeriac in the mirepoix- so this soup is going to be hella good! And it’s going on pasta too at some point, which will hopefully be delicious too.
Now that does sound fancy and mushroomy, as you’d hope.
Do you have a favourite soup?
No there’s a question. I’d probably go for a spicy tomato and lentil.
Soup is one of those things that I never go, “you know what I want for dinner… soup” but I am rearly disappointed when I do get soup. 🤷♂️
Maybe you just gotta learn how to make good soup? Once the recipe is in your brain and you know how easy to make and good it tastes, you’ll be craving it in no time.
