Comfort food
So I am still taking a bit of a break from crafting (although most likely sometime this week I will go back to it - or at least take photos of the new charms I have made), and my poor fiance has gotten sick (probably because of me!). So I made some comfort food, which is for me and him, pumpkin soup, and mashed potato. I realise while cooking, that I cook in a rather haphazard way, and don't really use recipes (especially when it's something I've done before) . . .even though I have tons of recipe books XD
Anyway, this is what I made and put in a pot to cook. This time I cut up and put in the pot:
4 x Stalks of celery
1 x Butternut pumpkin
4 x Cups of vegetable stock
1 x Onion
4 x Cloves of garlic
2 x Potatoes
1 x Cup of water
Then I let it come to a boil, and reduced it to a simmer, and then tested the pieces of pumpkin and potato with a fork (see if you can put a fork through it easily), took out the celery and then a blitzed it with the kitchen appliance thingy. Added a cup of cream, and a blob of butter (about 100g?), seasoned to taste with salt and pepper.
And you have your pumpkin soup! It turned out quite nicely even if the picture did not ^_^ Anyway, I will take this soup to him tomorrow, and hopefully he'll get better soon :D Ah, and if you have the time to, watch this youtube video - about a guy's reactions to playing really scary games:
It is hilarious, I couldn't breathe for laughing so much. Anyway, I promise the next post will be about crafting things!!
