Chookie I was only just reading all the positive reviews of Nagi’s Minestrone soup the other day so will make it for DD mainly but will see how I go with it. I may have to blend it a bit.

Have a safe and happy holiday Marina, good luck with the foot problem. I hope it doesn’t give you too much grief.

Yes, those too Marina - I knew there were more.

The tap sounds great Chookie and the bookshelves will soon be full I’m sure.

Something different then cookie.

Thanks Chookie, I asked as I thought others would like to know. I don’t do enough cooking to do bulk things.
The last of the kids’ food, ready to deliver now.
RTE Garlic Cheese Pizzas https://www.recipetineats.com/garlic-cheese-pizza/ I made individual ones and added ham, caramelised onions and roasted red peppers to them but left the ham off DD’s.
Made 3 individual pavlovas (1 for me) but I’ll have to work on that one as I think I overcooked them. I wanted the marshmallowy centre but I don’t think I achieved that. Toppings are mixed berry coulis and persimmon, I don’t even know if they like persimmon.

Sounds like fun Chookie, you’ve always loved your extended trips to the big city.

The kids will be over tomorrow so this time I’ve made RTE veggie burgers for DD https://www.recipetineats.com/veggie-burgers/ and a mixed meat stew with a mashed potato topping for SIL, enough mash left to go with another meal or 2 (SIL’s favourite). Also a cauli & broccoli au-gratin and some mixed berry coulis to go with individual pavlovas I’m making tomorrow.
