I know it’s not as cold as down south, but 3°C for this neck of the woods is crazy and we actually had a frost this morning!
Adoring Husband was wiping ice off his windscreen with his windscreen wipers and took a while to realise it!
I stayed in bed until almost 10am. The cold actually causes me physical pain … must be my old age.
By 10am it was lovely outside in the sunshine playing with Harley.
I made myself some cauliflower, leek and potato soup. A whole cauliflower (chopped), 2 small potatoes (diced) and a whole leek (sliced), 1 cup of home made chicken broth, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, salt, black pepper, 1 cup full cream (I used zymil lactose free) and 4 cups filtered water (to boil the vegetables).
I boiled all the potato and cauliflower together with a teaspoon of salt until tender. Fried the leek in butter until soft. Tossed everything above together in the blender for a minute until creamy and smooth. Added more salt and pepper to taste.
Absolutely delicious. I had a cup for lunch and put a container in the fridge for tomorrow morning. There are six containers in the freezer.
My butt was parked on the couch for the whole rest of the day watching the remaining episodes of “Fake”. I felt stressed all the way through it, so it was well done, but I don’t like feeling this way.
Adoring Husband played golf and played well so he came home satisfied.
BGWLBH did the ironing and spent time out by the pool in the sun.
Harley was a good boy.
It’s 11.30pm and bloody cold again, so I’m about to snuggle under the covers to get some sleep.
Nite all.
