Well, Uncle J came round with his family for a birthday tea. There was a very lovely "nature cake" (chocolate cake decorated with green smartie leaf and flower shapes - not sure who did the decoration, but I think Granny made the cake) and plenty of biscuits and lovely strawberries. Yum. Hope Uncle J enjoyed his party tea as much as everyone else did!
As we have a bit of a glut of courgettes in the garden at the moment, I asked Granny for her courgette soup recipe. We had this for supper and it was very well received. MightyShark said it was the best soup in the world (and he hates courgettes) and Twinkletoes had 3 helpings. MightyShark insists that I must share the recipe on the blog :-)
2 onions, chopped
2 large courgettes, chopped
3 or 4 potatoes, peeled and chopped
vegetarian or chicken stock (I used one large sachet of ready-made chicken stock from Tesco)
Melt some butter or magarine in a large saucepan and soften the veg for a few minutes. Add the stock and top up with some hot water if necessary. Cover and leave to simmer for approx 20 mins. Cool. Liquidize. Re-heat, season and serve. Yum. Thanks for that, Granny!
Actually it was my idea to put the recipe on the blog, I told mightyshark to tell you.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to work out who is mightyshark and who is twinkletoes - if only it was mightytoes and twinkleshark I'd be less confused. Well done caramac on the delicious courgette disguising - whoever invented liquidizers was truly beyond sainthood.
