Winter YumYum, is jurst scrummydumptious.. as, of course, are spring and summer YumYums.. but here in deepest Knightsbridge WE are in the depths of winter.. so this is what SHE and I are eating.. winter seasonal food.
For yes, most certainly, I eat human YumYum and with great pleasure too! YOU think SHE got to eat all that omelette last night?
And tonight WE had soup, because SHE went up to the city after the hairdresser and 'fell amongst thieves' ending up in Chinatown having a late lunch but none was brought home, pity that as I lurve Chinese food, sigh.
Never mind, in another of those bags that old wicker brought home yesterday were strange looking vegetables but I keep old Beaky shut these days because I was once rude about Celeriac. BIG mistake!
SHE washed them and put them into cold water to boil. Ah, I realised they were beetroots as soon as the water started to go that glorious colour! I lurve beetroot.
When tender, SHE drained them, roughly chopped two of them, sliced another into thin strips and put all the rest to cool before putting them into the fridge. NO point in using the gas for just 3 beets!
SHE took down fierce blender from the shelf, put in the chopped beets and about a cup of chicken stock, WE always have a stock pot going during the winter months and this weeks' stock is chick-the-lick!
SHE blitzed the beets, added more stock and blitzed it again, added the seasoning and then poured it into HER favourite bowl, adding a small amount of double cream and finely sliced strips of beetroot. SHE grated a lemon over the dish.
With a slice of Sourdough bread, it was a tasty, light supper. I had to wait for MINE to cool down before I could put old Beaky into MY bowl and WE had to have supper in the kitchen.
WHY the kitchen? Well, parrots have a very quick digestive system and an off-white carpet and a parrot, who has just eaten beetroot, are not a great combination!
Winter soups are easy to digest, they keep YOU warm and are very tasty. WE hope YOU make and love them too. OUR soup this weekend will be carrot and ginger with a citrus mix, so don't go too far away. I will post that tomorrow morning.
