James made some delicious winter vegetable soup last week, which we all enjoyed on New Year’s Day. We both agree that a hearty home-made soup is both tasty and healthy, so I joined in yesterday by making some leek and potato soup; double quantity so that we could freeze some of it. By the by, leek and potato soup was my Dad’s favourite. That’s not all that I made in the kitchen yesterday. I also made two vegetable lasagnes, using a favourite tried and tested recipe that always turns out well. So there was a great deal of peeling and chopping and frying and making cheese sauce and assembling, until finally I had produced two large lasagnes ready for today’s lunch.
It was important that they should be vegetable lasagnes because three of our guests, Janet, Peter and Anne, are currently vegetarian - not permanently but just for January. Also invited were Christine and Gerry, although sadly not Cat who has returned to London after her Christmas break. With Ally, Davie and Chanel there too, a happy ten of us sat down for lunch. It was a very jolly afternoon, full of chat and laughter.
