🥕🌿 Spiced Honey-Carrot & Coriander Soup recipe.

I made soup from blended leftover parsnips, carrots, sprouts, and mashed potatoes.

Wife said it was “bloody delicious!” which she never does, so that’s got to be a win.

I just had mine and it’s certainly very fucking good.

All in a day's housework

Busy day so far.

New school street comes into effect next month, so to prepare this morning we parked away from the school and the kids scooted in with me chasing after them on my flat feet.

Need to teach little kid how to use his brake.

Had to pop into the school office to ask for a parents' evening form.

Went to Tesco to buy the items that Waitrose couldn’t deliver later.

No time for breakfast, instead peeled, chopped and boiled spuds, chopped and fried onions with lentils, prepared carrots and leeks for honey-roasting, cut broccoli florets for steaming, mashed potatoes and spooned on to onions and lentils mixed with gravy and HP sauce in a baking dish, grated Red Leicester to go on top.

Emptied our general waste bin, wet and dry recycling bins, and the food bin.

Unblocked the kitchen sink with the plunger.

Put my laundry away.

Washed up.

Put the groceries away.

Time for a late brunch.

Yesterday’s Mac* ‘n’ Cheese went down well with me and big kid. It’s one of his favourites.

Baked bread with my little kid using my pizza dough recipe (substituted wholemeal flour for white flour).

Turned out nice enough that we both ate it.
