The Fragrant MrsP is currently flying over Canada .

The pups are wondering where she is.

Flying visit to the Chinese New Year Parade. Squeezed the car into a car park under the metrolink line near G-Mex - thank god the car park was quiet - talk about tight - 4 cars between brick arches with only enough room for one side to squeeze out. Some poor family were struggling to manoeuvre their Galaxy - bad enough in a Qashqai.

Watched the parade from my wife's office overlooking the square, then popped to St Annes square to look at 'the piggy' and then grabbed some street food, before getting back in the car.

My wife has now popped to see her mum in hospital, whilst I cook Hungarian Goolash (international food day today). At least doing a big batch of 'stew' should see us over mid week if things take to the worse with MIL (still stable but heart and kidney failure).

Time for a glass or two of wine (had hoped to be eating out and slurping wine, but hey ho).

Qashqai is a Rogue, in the States.
I need to make some Marhagulyas myself, maybe next week.

Canada is big. She may be some time......

I once sat next to a Canadian farmer at a dinner, and he told me that his land was so big that at harvest time his (multiple) combine harvesters would drive in a straight line for 2 days, without steering.

Spreadable butter = margarine, Reynard. Now, we don't sully decent food with margarine, do we.

Umm.

This is my own home made butter, but with just enough oil added to it to make it spreadable right out of the fridge.

It is snowing here.
I made barbeque chicken, rice, and vegetables for lunch this week.

Oh, you should have said. I'll try some next time.

Take one yellow and dry broccoli, one starting-to-sprout onion, a tired cabbage, an off cut of yellow pepper, some tomatoes just going a bit soft, a potato, some fresh ginger, and some Bouillon. Fry the finely chopped onion in butter until it is nearly, nearly burnt. Add the other chopped veggies and grated ginger, and fry them too. The add a pint or two of boiling water, and some Bouillon (retrieve the big lump which fell out of the container into the saucepan, clean it off, and return it to the container for next time). Boil it hard for half an hour or 45 minutes. Transfer the contents of the saucepan to the Magimix and wazz it up far longer than you think is necessary. Return it to the saucepan, dropping the Magimix blade into the contents. Retrieve this as it doesn't add to the flavour or texture. Return to the boil, and add a little milk. Serve into a bowl and eat with a couple of slices of homemade bread.

Delicious!! To be fair, the potato was in pretty good order.

And take heart from the thought, that try as you might, you'll never replicate that particular pot of soup ever again...

I'm thinking along the lines of a turkey and bacon butty tonight. With a couple of of course.

Don't worry, keep your head down. We'll liberate you in 2 or 3 years when the Yanks finally show up.

That's why I made enough for tomorrow. And the day after.
