Since we have had our Chromecast, I am even more addicted to YouTube videos than I was before. Queuing up and watching video after video is how I spend far too much time in my day (I just convince myself, and the hubby, that I am doing “research” for the blog).
Recently on the What to Watch page, a video appeared from Jamie Oliver’s Food Tube with Gennaro Contaldo which was perfectly timed given the current Daring Bakers Challenge. So using Gennaro’s version of the recipe from the video, I decided to make Tomato and Basil Focaccia.
Winter for me means soup and one soup I make every winter, and occasionally at other times during the year, is Roast Pumpkin Soup. Pumpkin has to be one of my favourite vegetables, with butternut pumpkin by far my favourite variety. I could eat roasted butternut pumpkin until the end of time but I would probably start to look like one after a while so best not.
One of my favourite things in this world is pasta. And it is a good thing too because apparently a lot of restaurants think that if your vegetarian you must love pasta as that is usually the default vegetarian dish on the menu. I am not whining too much about it, I would just like another choice or two sometimes.
