    Jaxx, I don't do recipes for soup, except tomato. The butternut squash was chopped and roasted for about 40 mins, then into a pot with about eight medium carrots, two ladles of lentils, a chopped onion and about six litres of stock, a bit of cayenne pepper, and then once cooked salt and pepper to taste. It is pureed now as Ds2 doesn't like chunky lentil soup. Sorry its not more accurate :o I am trying to reduce cals so I never sweated the veg first.

    Be back later :)

    Evening all:j:j
    Well its very cold and there are about 2in of snow on the ground here.
    Its been snowing hard on and off most of the day but not all of it has stuck. It was due to snow hard in the night but i dont think we had any at all. Thats wahy it been snowing today. Risk of more snow in the night and tomorrow. But i dont think the met office really know whats going on as a slight change in the wind and the snow moves fast over areas were that said i would ok. Some parts of the country have had it really bad today and the roads will be a nightmere for people to get home tonight.

    I came out of work at 3:00pm as we had a power cut. I walkd home in a blisard:eek: Still i got home early and safe.

    The twins are getting better. There coughs were not too bad yesterday and they sleppt all night. They have been more there normal selfs today busy rushing around playing and wonting to do and get everywere:T:T

    No money saving here today. We are going to order a take away curry tonight for dinner. I had a staek pie for my dinner at work today. The twins will be haveing fish fingers backed spuds and beans for there dinner tonight. With yogart grapes and oranges for there pudding.

    Well i hope taht you all are warm and safe and that you are all copeing with this cold wether.

    Keep warm, safe and happy.

    Enjoy your evening everyone:j:j


    And dont forget to cheak on people taht are on there own for are old, sick.

    Bleaching down all day here! Car still stuck but I headed out and walked into the city centre - should have taken me 5 minutes but it was a tramp and a half there and back.

    OS?? Mmmmm - we are still eating out the freezer, found meat which is about 2 years old and happily cooking and using it. :j Got some fresh vegs (and a bottle of wine) but then got distracted by the lovely clothes in M&S :eek: I really shouldn't be allowed out at all.

    Work is being done, house is being cleaned as sometimes I am bored but generally I find housework boring too. The threat of friends coming over this morning galvinised me into washing dishes (DW arriving on Friday so was 'saving' them up :j) and the bathroom floor. Wasted effort as they couldn't get here.
    :D:D

    Hi Everyone

    The heating has been on most of the day, luckily we don't need to worry too much re the bill.

    Just doing some Yorkshires to go with the mince and veg left from yesterday. Not much mash left, so have popped some frozen :o Roast Spuds in the bottom of the oven while they cook. Cheating I know but they seem to come out less "fatty" for Dh.

    If anyone spots M&S are selling their hampers off cheap like last year, PM me please, as they make an ice stocking filler for DS & GF. I am not always up as early as some of you but spot PM's b4 reading thread, as they go to my Bberry.

    Off to rescue the Yorkshires, DH is now bored by the snow :rotfl::rotfl::cool:

    Take care and keep warm
