I should have been having roasted squash & ginger soup today . . . .
I put a large roasting tin of above along with peppers, onion and carrots in the oven on Gas 6 yesterday evening, set the timer for 30 minutes to remind me to stir it around, and shut the kitchen door . . . fast forward 2 hours . . .
At least it was dustbin day today, although I may have been putting the bins out when the timer went off.
I must remember not to shut the kitchen door when the oven is on, which I don't normally. The alarm would not have gone off though, as I would have smelled it early enough to save.
Yesterday Mrs M, egged on by Mary Berry, created a Sausage and Red Pepper Hotpot. In addition to those ingredients, it contained bacon, chopped tomatoes, carrots, onion, sliced potatoes and sundried tomato and basil puree. It was delicious, but having eaten all the sausages, just the sauce remained. So that was my lunch today, the best bit of soup I've tasted in ages.
