Week 3 Day 2

Cold weather food

I woke up this morning to find the summer had disappeared yet again, had my early morning cup of tea.

Breakfast

bowl of porridge

I had my usual bowl of porridge, and cup of tea, which I drank before the porridge was ready. Sometimes I would dearly love to have some buttered toast instead. While it's not as healthy, and I really enjoy my porridge, it would just be nice to have a change.

Porridge

Cup of tea

Porridge = 9p.

Lunch

Soup and onion bread



Since the bad weather had returned I thought I would have a winter soup, so as I had both a leek and some potatoes I decided to make a leek and potato soup. I also had a half onion so I decided to make onion bread with it. Unfortunately the onions took a little while to caramelise and the bread became a bit crisp, though even Eric agreed it was very tasty. Next time I will caramelise the onions first before putting them on top of the bread. These flat breads happen to be very filling, much more so than cheap crappy bread, so I only need a little soup before I am full up. I have saved half my soup for tomorrow, and I might try my onion bread again.
