Parsnip soup
So a little while ago – some time BL (Before Lurgy) someone (John) bought a bag of parsnips. These have been sitting in the fridge for some time. So this afternoon, having done the washing up, and wanting something else to do in the kitchen so I could carry on listening to Brenda Dayne’s Cast On (I’m a little behind – she’s not taken her break yet so far as I’m concerned… ). So my attention went to the parsnips. I love curried parsnip soup – I’ve only had it about once, but I used to make pureed parsnip for Adam and Ruth when they were itty bitty tiny things, and often used to add a pinch of curry powder, and it was gorgeous. So curried parsnip soup it was to be. I browsed through a couple of cook books, and got started. Part-way through my peeling and chopping adventure John mentioned that Maggi Dawn had posted a recipe for parsnip soup on her blog today. This was in response to a plea from Dave of the Cartoon Church and this wonderful cartoon resource for bloggers. Apparently he’s been so overwhelmed with parsnip recipes that he has drawn a selection of parsnip cartoons – go visit – there’s one to suit every palate.
(The soup wasn’t ready by dinner time, so we had cold roast chicken, cauliflower and mash – and I’ve only just remembered that there’s a tub of particularly nice gravy in the fridge 
Ah well.)
Off to hang up some laundry now. Happy, happy happy.

Hullo, I’m sorry to say this but I didn’t send your package! One is coming, I can promise you that, but it’s probably going out next monday. My car has decided to poop out on me so I can’t make it to the post office. Again, sorry for the delay, but a package is coming!SP - 31 March '06 - 21:04
