No pics but I have enjoyed some cheddar cheese and new season apples for lunch. Jazz variety, very crisp, sweet apples cut into chunky slices. Apples seem to taste better when they are sliced.
I have some Persimmons (the hard ones) and Brie in the fridge for the next time I need a snack. A wedge of Brie on a slice of Persimmon is so good
It is a great winter soup. Hearty thick soup to fight the cold temperatures.
You can add flavours like a bit of ginger to add warmth to the taste profile. I think that’s why I like a good dash of black pepper, it adds layer of warmth
I am a big fan especially with freshly ground black pepper. The flavour profile does change depending on the pumpkin used but the sweet nutty flavour is so good. Some folk like a dash of cream or sour cream mixed it but if the pumpkins are ripe enough I don’t think it needs it.
Crusty bread is always a good accompaniment
Now I’m hungry
Definitely soup time for you Gary
And for me too - I got some of the pumpkin soup from the grocer today. It tastes so good on a cold day. I might save it for Monday with a max of 18C
I ran out of tissues so have been using kitchen wipes instead
Definitely buying some tomorrow.
I didn’t remember seeing this so I thought I should explain to Man that autocorrect changed bloody into bluefish so many times that we have conceded defeat and now use it to mean the same thing.
Basho spoke about capturing a moment that tells a story - sort of like a good photograph, I guess. There are lists of seasonal and place words and some of it can be quite subtle.
Back in Basho's time they used to have haiku duels, going back and forth. It sounds like they had fun
And the format continues to grow and adapt… for example there are thousands of haiku about spam (the meat product) at the Spamku site
