We don’t get the Food Network Channel over here, but I’ve seen a few shows. I notice that they’ve started putting food bloggers in front of the camera (Adam from Amateur Gourmet for example) these days. Perhaps not something I aspire to. Too camera shy!

Bread and soup is just a habit, you don’t need it. All’s you need is a big mug and a spoon! Thank you again for your uplifting and encouraging input. I really appreciate it.

You are one good story-teller. I always find top-notch entertainment when I stop by GDave’s. You’d be perfect for our Food Network Channel, spinning a tale while whipping up a tasty meal.

This soup looks wonderful, but you’ll have to “hold” the bread and pass me some flax crackers. Or maybe a nice hearty teff bread.

I would have never noticed the Rorschach butterfly either, had Cid not sorted that out for us. Wow, this is a multi-talented lady. Maybe you better skip the duel, she’s probably a ninja sword-master in disguise. Yes, we need you for the dinner shift, you’re too valuable to waste on breakfast.

Thanks for another delightful post!

The butterfly wasn’t at all intentional, didn’t see that before you mentioned it. I bet you’d score very well on a Rorschach test.

I don’t think I’m quite ready for a duel yet. I’m still trying to work my way off the breakfast section in your soup kitchen.

GDave

Now that looks attractive and delicious …. was the image of the butterfly intentional? It’s not just me dwelling on the auspicious significance of kimono details then … what a relief

I’m not sure whether to congratulate you or challenge you to a duel…. ladles at fifteen paces

Cid ~ off to find a smoked hock

I was a bit concerned that using smoked hock would be a bit dominant, but I needn’t have worried. It lifted the soup wonderfully and I really hope you enjoy it!

GDave

Thanks for that, it’s certainly one I’ll be making again. Also, really impressed by the amount of meat you get on a quid-fifty’s worth of hock. That’s going on my shopping list again!
