I'm enjoying making thick vege soups/stews & changing them up with different spices .... a nutritious & comforting trip around the world. What's on your menu?

At the moment anything! Appetite has increased alarmingly with the cooler weather.Tonight we had a lovely risotto, very yummy and so filling..... and then I was a pig and had the remains of some hot chocolate pudding, with of all things lime icecream. (No not pregnant!!)Sinful!! no doubt i will suffer for it.

Definitely a comfort eating time of year.We have just had roast beef, new potatoes, brocolli and carrots - hardly low calorie!But very good.Had soup for lunch, from a can though not home made.

and you wouldn't believe this: hubby just went to go to the microwave to reheat his coffee and said; why is there some butter in a bowl in the microwave; I had made the pudding and forgotten to put the butter in! Was still a damn good pudding!

We have no autumn here yet - except all the produce coming at once: pumpkins, chestnuts, feijoas, apples, pears, nashi, quinces, grapes and lots of courgettes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, the first chines cabbages and the last cucumbers, lots of basil - so summer goes on a bit longer here :)

I miss my Blue Lakes! I was talked into trying another variety this season and they aren't anywhere near as good, I can't wait till next season to grow my favourite beans again.
