I found this Baby Risotto recipe online so I decided to use it so that I’m not left with huge amounts of the dish. 4 serves for a baby and I got 3 out of it for me - babies must eat a lot! https://www.bestrecipes.com.au/recipes/baby-food-risotto-recipe/3iajl7uq

I used frozen stir fry veggies and added 1/2 cup of cooked mushrooms from the recipe Marina posted. At first I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy the meal but it grew on me and wasn’t too hard to eat.  Thanks for your input Marina.

Nice little cakes cookie.

Yesterday Katie visited with a bagful of excess F & V from her weekly delivery.  I chopped and froze the huge celery, made this Creamy Turnip soup https://www.spendwithpennies.com/creamy-turnip-soup/ with the turnip, some of the potatoes and 1 of the apples.  I had it for lunch today and I was quite surprised with the taste. I use turnip (and Swede) in soups and casseroles but I’ve never made anything that made turnip the star.  I also cooked the mushrooms as per one lot of the instructions Marina posted recently for me and tomorrow I’ll add them to a risotto. Thanks Katie, your generosity knows no bounds and it was lovely to catch up again.

A pretty display Chookie but what are they?

That’s not good to hear Margaret, I hope they can get on top of your problems asap as you’ve had a bad trot lately.

It’s so nice hat you have someone to give you a hand Chookie, you sound very organised now.

I can only imagine how much has to be done for the sale of your lovely home Chookie, not so much for opens but more so for when the time comes to empty it. Off to the rehab unit, that’s good news and I agree that he will be well treated there. Of course I know he would be loved and treated well wherever he is, how can anyone not love such a beautiful man. All the best for the next stage of your lives.

Nice cold weather food there cookie.

That’s so nice cookie.
