Keep it simple

Black coffee is simple, double decaf skinner latte is not. (in plain English – no caffeine, no butterfat in the milk and no sugar!!!)
Planting a seed is simple, Biology is not.
So let's start simple, plant a seed and see a flower grow, in time you can order a double decaffeinated skimmed milk latte.
Well this is something you can look forward to.
I did a little gardening today, not the sort that The Gardener does but a simple start. I noticed that the Day Lilies are getting near their end, so are the Bluebells. Soon I will have to take a spade to the garden and prepare for the summer. Talking of summer, today was a taster of what is to come, 19° C and no wind. Makes you think of lazy sunset after a day spent on the beach, BBQ cooking itself and the Sauvignon Blanc quenching your thirst. Oh we will rue the day we wanted the summer to warm our chilled souls.
Michael wrote PE and Biology today, GCSE's, came back to revise for the next examination, that could be a good thing or a desperate desire to do better in the next examination.
I have just cooked a very good broccoli soup. Broccoli soup is very versatile as you can add cream, allowing the natural broccoli freshness to come though. Adding parmesan almost makes it a creamy soup and mayonnaise will add that creamy tange.
How to cook it: Chop up a small onion, one small potato and a clove of garlic, sauté in a good dollop of olive oil, add a pinch of mixed herbs and a fresh chilli (chopped small). A medium size broccoli and 500 ml vegetable stock. Make sure the top of the broccoli is covered with liguid. Bring to the boil and then simmer until soft. Dash of fish sauce and season, this means salt and pepper, then serve with crusty bread.

  1. Broccoli (or trees as Lily and I call them) are one of her very favourite foods. I'll try her on this broccoli soup and let you know what she thinks. She's a tough cookie to please; only eating the tastiest of foods. None of this baby mush for her!!!
