I don't generally sleep well, and I could count on the fingers of one hand how many unbroken nights I've had in the past couple of years. And that figure is now updated by one; the recipe? Phil Beer, two whiskies, and a cold night.

( what is she on about? )

so if I could just get Phil to come and give us a private concert every night, when we've moved to the arctic circle, that'd do just fine. You can post us the whiskey.

today's soup

started life as carrot and cumin. The organic box contains a bag of carrots every bloody week, and we don't eat that many, so every now and again I make a huge pan of carrot soup to get rid of them.

on Monday, we had lemon and coriander chicken, and some dhal made from black lentils. We pogged all the chickie, but there was some juice left, and that got tipped into the soup pot together with the rest of the dhal.

it's *delicious* - we had it with home made (well bread machine made) bread, and some chicken tikka.
