"Yo" night

To use up the cabbage (I just remembered when I was cracking up at J about this, he threw out the stellar "but I thought you liked cabbage" gotta laugh) I made a yummy vege soup. Had actually planned on this soup for a few days, after I got a lovely bunch of leafy celery.

* vege soup (cabbage, carrots, onion, celery and a couple of potatoes thrown in for good measure). Pureed up half of it to freeze for future comfort food/soup base usage.

* spag bol, with "hidden" spinach and carrots

* herb bread (basil, rosemary, paprika, oregano).Unfortunately I forgot that the "french bread" setting takes 6 and a half hours, so when I put it on at 1:30pm, it meant that it wouldn't be ready until 8pm, but I was hedging my bets that J would get home around that time anyway....of ccourse last night he was home at 7:30pm haha. I enjoyed the bread for "supper" anyway, and today for breakfast for K (with peanut butter on it - it is not that herby) and me with soup leftovers for lunch.

Also just made up a batch of lemonade scones, which I am gonna have with whipped cream and jam for afternoon tea and I cannot WAIT!

Notes for self:
* converted plain flour to sr by adding 2teaspoons of baking powder per cup of flour.
* always forget how sloppy this is, as only using regular cream. Maybe I should whip all the cream to try thicken it, and use it whipped instead next time?? Of course, the scones still turn out LOVELY!
