Welcome to Victoria Peel via here and Frugal Wench via Bloglovin.
Well, we managed to stay up long enough to see in the New Year. Church bells rang, a fantastic firework display was watched from our conservatory. We sent and received messages from DS, then missed others as we went to bed around 12:20 am.
Back to normal for a while until visitors arrive in a week. Soaked a whole packet of dried peas to make soup for lunch. Didn't have any ham stock or bacon so made it as a basic pea soup then added vegetables, frankfurter, stock cubes, and a chunk of garlic and herb Boursin cheese:
After more chores we went for a brisk walk around the village, came home and made mushroom risotto for tea followed by the last dregs of leftover home made ice cream.
Onwards and upwards we go into the new year, not knowing what it will hold (except DS and FDiL's wedding) but hoping for good health, happiness and contentment!
Happy new year to you, I like it when life gets back to normal after the holiday.
ReplyDeleteMe too, hope you have had a good rest!
DeleteYou cannot beat a lovely homemade soup on a cold winter's day, or maybe you can with mushroom risotto! My sort of food. Happy New Year to you and thank you for the recipes and the good read every day x

ReplyDeleteWe haven't had our visitors yet but will try and not go overboard on the food front. Our stomachs just can't take it anymore!
