Very Small Feet

 So it’s been what over a year since I had a glass of wine. I have to say the booze-free and low alcohol game has improved since my last pregnancy... I had some amazing stuff to drink over winter holidays.  I had the middle bitter with tonic water and some citrus fruit and it was so tasty! Even Big had couple of sips, and he isn’t a fan of fizzy drinks.  I even had that alcohol free/low alcohol advent! Which I still need to write about!  So after doing some research I decided to have a cheeky glass of red wine. You know these tiny bottles that designed for one glass? Yeah that one. Hubby picked up a Cabernet Sauvignon one of my favourite ones and from South America...  It was flavour explosion! I could taste all the woodiness, all the dark fruits, plums, the dark chocolate... it was like having all your life mild cheddar and then suddenly tasting stinking bishop cheese. Insane.  But I am still a “milk farm” and will not be having another for some time, I fo...

Well about 2 years ago we had a new girl at work. We didn't like each other much... Very soon she became on of my very close friends. (yeah we both are a bit crazy, hens the crazy eyes) Happy birthday Dessy! Sorry I cannot be in Cardiff to go out and get shopped out and have vino with some nibbles!  May all your dreams come true... Muchos love P.S. Don't forget to wear your tiara, you are so allowed to wear it all day long, since it's your birthday!!

I miss having the veg delivery from lovey people at Riverford, they do deliver in Bath so I'm singing back on! But we did have a lot of organic onions hanging about our pantry, so we spend our early morning making onion soup. Well there is however a bit of the problem with cooking onion soup from organic onions... these guys are so so strong!! I was weeping over the chopping board and had to give up in the end. It also took quiet a while to cook the soup... but it was delicious! Lovely really hearty. We used as a basis this  this recipe from Nigel Salter ... Oh how I love his cooking show, just so pretty! However we did add some garlic, and used red wine and chicken stock. Also few dashes of balsamic vinegar were added for extra sweetness. I do think the trickiest thing was not to stir the onions, you have to let them be soft lightly brown and caramelized  That's the best kind! I say...
