Speaking of Cordon Bleu, I've been enjoying oat cuisine these cold
winter mornings. Jumbo oats with raisins, Manuka honey, yogurt with
sliced banana and apple. Nutritious and comforting ... brrrrrrrrrr.

*Chuckle* i accidentally made a vegetarian soup the other day, it was so
very good i repeated it on purpose today.

It almost seems to me like the flavors of the seasonings and the
vegetables come through so much more forcefully with no meat in the mix.

I wouldn't mind having the recipe if you're so inclined. I like
vegetable soup.

Of itself it was nothing special, just a big pot of boiling water (not
even stock!!!) to which i added 2 pounds of the big white 'broad' beans
(?) onions, celery, carrots, crushed garlic and about half of a 69 cent
package of 'Mexican' soup spices, specifically iirc it was a spice mix
for 'menudo' with mostly oregano but some red pepper flakes and other
spices, unfortunately i tore off most of the label and all i have left
is the brand name "El Guapo" if interested i will purchase another
package and give its full name & ingredients.


Several years ago i was feeling too lazy to bother cutting up my soup
veggies into a small dice as i had always done before and cut them into
a large, inch square dice and was very surprised at how much more flavor
they then seemed to give the soup.

Being a no meat soup it only took a hour or so from start to finish.
Primarily for the beans to cook, which i let cook on their own for about
45 minutes before i put the veggies in. I don't pre soak beans. I put
about half the spice mix in with the beans to cook and the other half &
some more garlic when i added the veggies.

I served the soup in a soup plate with a thin slice of roast beef but
the soup is so very good on its own, i thought the roast beef was
unnecessary. I have been eating it recently with a big thick slice of
whole wheat, buttered bread.

I have almost convinced myself to make the meats and soups separately
from now on and only combine them just before serving.

I hear you Bob!!

This morning was two free range eggs sunny side up, and hot Watties Baked
Beans on toast...... with a liberal sprinkling of Creole Seasoning to give it
that extra 'bite' :-)


Is your Manuka UMF rated??

nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a
stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad
drink, though."

Cold? What do you consider cold?

On the northern end of the northeast coast of New Zealand's North
Island, 0-1° Centigrade (32-33.7°F) is cold when you're used to winter
being much warmer. Mid-mornings have warmed up to around 3°C, although
that was last week and this week is warmer.

It's all relative, of course. I remember having to wear a sweater at
night when I lived on Maui in Hawaii years ago. It had got down to
75°F.
