Saturday Gourmet

Another Saturday improved by Pea Soup.

There is great joy in mashing peas badly, adding double cream to the pot, and then supping it while all around are watching bombs falling in the middle east.  Well, all bar those watching football obviously.

With a mere 10 minutes work, not counting the time I kept forgetting what I was doing, five bowls of the stuff have been prepared.

Tonight I am making a mess of macaroni cheese also.  

Simple foods for simple people.

Pea Soup

Suddenly, while attempting to eat, I came upon the idea of 'Pea Soup.'  Never before has this idea crossed my mind, and I now wish it had.  Fry a few onions said the recipe, chicken cube, water, and peas.  Crush the peas they said, easier said than done in water, add salt and pepper, then add double cream, well single today.  It turned out nice!  I wish I had thought of this before.  

However, crushing the peas was not easy, and as I had a tin of Mushy Peas in the cupboard, I added that.  Next time, and there will be an 'next time,' I will use Mushy Peas instead.

I've made soup from Chick peas, Potatoes and Lentils before, but this was new to me, though it does go back into the mists of time when such food was all that was available. 

What excitement there is in my life...   

Nothing else happened.
