Hello, Pooky, it was me!! :hello:

Cream of Courgette Soup

2Tbsp olive oil
1Tbsp butter
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
900g courgettes, thinly sliced
600ml veg stock
120g dolcellate cheese, chopped + extra to garnish
300ml single cream

Heat oil and butter and sweat onion. Add courgettes, cook over low heat 10 mins. Add stock, bring to boil, cover and simmer for 30 mins. Add chopped dolcellate, and stir until melted. Whizz in processor, and sieve if necessary. Add 2/3 of cream and bring to hot but not boiling. Season. Swirl with remaining cream and cheese.

I actually couldn't find the dolcellate I'd bought :mad: , but can report that it was lovely without DS has even been asking for more of this "veggie food" :eek:

Do you think it would be ok to freeze this???

Right I'm awake now, so a proper Good Morning and post!!

Catznine
Have a great time tonight! Apologies for forgetting first thing this morning!

Penny-Pincher!! Well done with the cleaner, you've handled that really well!!Hope things go OK at the hospital and enjoy the cinema with DD.

Hardup Hester know just what you mean by polly parrot 2 year old DGS!! Luckily the worse mine has parroted is, " she'll park in my boot if she gets any closer!!" This about my neighbour who parks her car 4 inches sometimes (honestly!!) from my back, while leaving 10 feet behind her!! The times I finish up boxed in!!!:mad: Don't think your present job and him would mix well at all:rotfl: :rotfl:

Poppycracker (((((hugs))))) hope you're feeling a bit better.

Elona (((hugs))) to you on this sad day

Tim_n welcome!!:D

Catowen it's been so nice to read of you having such a relaxed start to the day these last few posts!! Enjoy, you work so hard the rest of the time.

Purpleprincess how I envy you your energy levels, but do take care of yourself too!!!

Shez I may go to the gym but I'm a real lardar$e, 3 stone heavier than I want to be!!

SnowyOwl that's not inclination, if I didn't go first thing when they open and I'm still asleep, albeit in an upright position, I wouldn't go at all!!:rotfl: :rotfl: I don't do much of a workout to be honest, but do have a committment to meet a friend I met there, to go 3 mornings a week!! Two fat old ladies plodding side by side on treadmills:o

Kazonline hope the above reassures you the aliens haven't made off with your friend and left a substitute!!:rotfl: :rotfl: I tell you the flimsiest excuse not to go and I grab it with both hands:D

Bargain Rzl do I take it from your statement THREE WHOLE ENTIRE MEN that you've personally checked them out and can vouch for their completeness?:rotfl: :rotfl: Good luck for the valuation! Fingers are crossed, well when not typing!

Morning to all I've crossed with, must now get back to some work.

Don't see a reason why not, but I'd leave out the cream and cheese, and add them when I came to serve.

Goodnight all,

Just back from my walk with DH. Decided to give Hammy a break and go all patriotic for a little while with Kanga. It was suppose to jump but somehow it's stopped. Probably needs to go to the gym with Churchmouse.

Today is *the* day Bgn Rzl isn't it? Hope it all goes through.

Kaz - the minute I win lotto start packing your bag.

That soup looks yum PPen. Would just normal cream be ok. Never heard of the other stuff.

(((((hugs))))) to Poppycracker.

Moggins Hope your hand isn't too sore today.

Well Aust Idol is calling me so better get off. Byeeeeeeeeeeee

Hi, Aussie, single cream is of the pouring variety. It's about 20% fat. Does that make sense?

Welcome, Tim! :beer:

Prinny, I took a look at your festy photos last week, you looed glam and cool at the same time! :T

Rzl, everything crossed today! Good job I don't have much to do, or this would be v inconvenient
