Sometimes when you’re stressed and need something soothing, an old fashioned murder mystery can save the day. I just watched Agatha Christie’s series: Seven Dials and will start The Thursday Murder Club.
I made a chicken/vegetables/fruit salad for dinner with pomegranate seeds. 🍜

I chopped different root vegetables today, bagged them and froze for later use.
The third soup of the week: sausage and vegetable soup. Root vegetables: carrot, swede, celery, turnip, parsnip, they‘re all full of flavours and they’re great for warming soups and stews in winter. 🍜

I made pea soup today. 2 kg dried peas, soaked overnight, 800 g ham/smoked pork belly and the outcome: 12 bags (1/2 liter) of pea soup to freeze for later use. The soup is thick and only needs a little water when thawing and reheating.
We had some of the pea soup for dinner. 🍜
