Kale

We have no gas to heat the house at the moment (they deliver bottles here) so I decided to keep warm by making soup this morning. This had the added benefit of using up unwanted veg from the fridge. I chopped up some butternut squash and a couple of new potatoes, garlic, shallot and parsley and added a load of kale and some black pepper right at the end. Messing around with the photo I took of the kale, it becomes virtually unrecognisable - more like a fabric or wallpaper pattern. I had the soup for lunch with one very good ham&cheese and an equally good tomato&cheese bread roll that Isaac made at school yesterday. Another quiet day in complete contrast to yesterday's commute and people-packed Farringdon. Dan and I went for a short walk up the lane. Soon the kids will get back from school and later I'll get an early night in preparation for doing the commute again for the next two days.
