Not much help I'm afraid as we use the Quaker packs of instant.
TBH I mainly have them pre golf or pre ride and there is, sadly, not much of that going on

good morning people, not a lot to do today, gate wants fixing and I should get the ironing done, and there maybe some gardening to do.

Morning all. Back to pleasant weather which helps. I was sat out with 2 fleeces and a hat yesterday yesterday. Today its set to reach 17°.
I am about to put a loaf on to bake then a home made vegetable soup. I know there will be potato, onion, carrot, celery and some ginger going into the pot.
What spices do you add to your soups ?
In the past I have experimented but sometimes bordered on ruining it with too much. Maybe I should just stick to pepper with a dash of salt.

Eek! I noticed this morning I'm down to the last few grams of my Kavanagh's. So unless our local Aldi has supplies, I too would be grateful for suggestions.

I wouldn't bother next time but this would risk Mrs P's wrath as the others are her tennis buddies.
Once a month our local sports and social club runs a quiz. Always well attended and loads of fun. The quiz master is really good and designs the questions so everyone feels included - has a decent chance. Friday night we had 13 teams of couples - 28 people when the quiz masters are included - for the Zoom online quiz. It was brilliant. We scored 60/100, happy.
Last night we got 7/30 - pointless, in every sense. We aren't daft but 23 questions one can't answer??????

Unless it's a mulligatawny or south east asian recipe, I'd steer clear of the spices. IMHO, a handful of fresh parsley is all that's needed to lift those ingredients ... with the salt & pepper you mentioned.

I'd pop some cardamom in this one, goes well with carrot. Orange, carrot and cardamom soup is a good one.

+1 for that ... and especially carrot and coriander.

Started young, and still going.
The New Zealand flat worm are a real menace as the destroy the native worms by wrapping themselves around the worm and then desolving it.

We've run out of Kavanagh's 😯
(I always add a scoop to my bread flour when baking, adds a bit of crunch to the crust)
Managed to get some Waitrose "essentials" porridge delivered, makes great porridge 👍
We make ours with Oatmilk, a couple of scoops in a bowl, cover with oatmilk and leave overnight to soak. Slice half a banana into the bowl before microwaving.
It's the most porridgy porridge I've ever tasted 👍

Morning all
Felt a bit under the weather yesterday - low level headache, nausea, fatigue etc. Thought, 'ere we go with the Corona thingy.
Had a good nights sleep and feel quite a bit better - not 100% though.
It's probably any one of hundreds of other bugs that go around.
MrsD thinks she had it last week.

Yep, horrible things, slimy, very unpleasant to look at and live exclusively off native worms. They are very common in Northern England though I'm glad to say we don't have any around us. Originally came from NZ in the 1960s when nurserymen began exporting from NZ to Europe.
