SOUP!
Apparently I've been in a soup mood the past couple days, maybe because it's cheap and easy.
First, some French onion soup, minus the French part. (This is Austria after all!) Also because I didn't have the bread or cheese, but whatever. The soup itself was really good!
Then last night at 1 am I, for some reason, had the urge to make split pea soup. I had inherited some split peas from Elizabeth when she left, and I LOVE Campbell's Chunky Split Pea 'N' Ham Soup at home (though I guess it's a little salty), so...the time was ripe. Unfortunately, I didn't have any ham or bacon, and since it was the middle of the night, it's not like I could go out and buy any (because all the grocery stores close at 7 or 8 here. And don't even get me started about Sundays). SO I found this recipe online and had a grand ol' time. Unfortunately, our immersion blender is kind of broken and REALLY loud (especially for 2am), so I had to mash it all up by hand with a really heavy duty old-school twirl whisk. Of course it came out a bit lumpy, but I still liked it. It tasted really good!!
Not sure what I'll come up with next, but I'm off to the grocery store. We're making some kind of mysterious prawn curry (obviously not my idea) tomorrow that I am morbidly curious about. So we'll see how that goes.
