The storms are back. The winds blast around our home. From time to time rain slashes at the windows. And we have to go out in it this afternoon! We're out of milk once more.
Meanwhile I've been making some pea soup for this evening. After last night's feast we feel the need for something lighter tonight. The food was excellent. We both had the winter mushroom casserole. If you like mushrooms this was superb, so mushroomy. All sorts of mushrooms, both wild & cultivated, were to be found in the steamy creamy sauce. Delicious.
We both moved on to the venison steaks. Again very good. We were even asked how we wanted the steaks doing. Although that is the norm with beef steaks, & I had taken specific orders from those having the fillet or sirloin steaks, I hadn't bothered with the venison. We all thought the venison was cooked to perfection.
After that the Fox & I went our different ways. He settled on the boozy Christmas trifle. It didn't look like any trifle he'd ever had before & didn't seem particularly boozy, but he did enjoy it. I had the chocolate & mandarin cheesecake - light & beautifully balanced.
So today we're in need of a bit of cutting down. If this wind doesn't calm down - & the forecast doesn't sound hopeful - the idea of a bowl or two of steaming hot soup has great appeal. Just the thing to warm you through after being out in the cold, however brief a time!
