simple #2
It’s raining and windy. Not exactly cold but alluding to a wintry state. The stomach follows, desiring soup.
Food fit for those with a cold, time poor or hankering for warmth*.
Soup: Corn, onion, garlic, ginger, carrots and assorted greens. Simmered til soft in water. Chunks of white fish poached in the soup before serving. Then flavoured with miso and tamari. A few rice noodles to add ballast. Delicate and soothing.
The SE made what I would call a “boy’s soup”. What is it about some men and flavouring? Something akin to colour-blindness. An everything-but-the-kitchen-sink concoction, including Brussels sprouts, with the unusual addition of mixed spice. Don’t try this at home! My failure to appreciate did not bring good humour into the home.
Porridge: Oatmeal, call it what you will. This season’s combo is oats, leftover cooked brown rice if there is any about, and banana. After cooking I’ve added passionfruit, a dash of maple and soymilk.
Omelette: End of the week vegetables sautéed with onion and garlic, beaten egg and a few olives.
One pot or pan. Simple to make. Easy to digest.
Just hold the mixed spice and the sprouts!
* or all three in my case

some. Now. Great to be back with oats and couldn't help but notice an ad on TV last night for Uncle Tobys oats. I can't understand why on earth people buy branded oats.
Yum! Thanks for the inspiration - It's mushroom soup for our household tonight.
Cinnamon is great in/on porridge which I love; and
maybe the guy was thinking of the 'nutmeg on sprouts' rule?

Ah cinnamon! Your comment reminded me to grate nutmeg on my porridge this week. I'd forgotten how much I loved it!
Love the sound of that soup. And I have all the ingredients...so off I go.
