Souper Trouper



When I first arrived at Granny and Grampa's house we had lunch which was soup and a table picnic. A table picnic usually comprises some cold meat and or smoked fish with a bread roll, different cheeses, and fruit. We had an extra nice one this seshion with prawns, a boiled egg, some beetroot, feta, and gherkins and olives. Delish. The soup was Parsnip. Very easy to make. I think just chopped, peeled parsnips, onions, stock, and some curry powder and just mush all that together. Finish with a swirl of cream to top. It really is soup season right now so I hope that inspires you to start making. It is very warming.
For dinner that night we had steak. Granny has a special heavy slightly spiky tool that is designed to bash the steak as you're meant to first but I'm sure I could use something else when making it myself. So, beat them up a bit first. Then get oil really hot in a pan. Put them in. Turn them over when you think one side is done. Do the other side. Obvs before hand do your accompaniments such as roast potatoes, green beans, and roast tomatoes. Put the steak on the plate when done and keep the oil in the pan. Put a bit of water in and some lea and perrins and boil up a bit but not too much so it goes sticky. Then spoon it over the steaks and eat.
Strawberries and cream for pudding. What a classic.

Aah wish I was there now. But London is calling. Going to shower and go to the Co-op with Dave to get nice bread for our lunch with is dashy's spicy root veg stew again. Off i trot, my beauties.
Still got loads of news to feed you so expect more later!
