Sian has a great new link up for Monday. It expands on her waving on Monday theme. This time she wonders if we have done something for the first time or learned something new over the weekend and here is the place to share.
Vegetarians look away.
I made oxtail soup from scratch for the first time! I was walking past a butcher and saw the ox tails in the window. They were all neatly tied up and looked very appetising. Now I have never had this soup before but Paul loves it and has it from a can. I don’t even like the smell of it. So in a way I bought them to make something nice for him.
The finished result was absolutely beautiful!
OK it took most of Saturday afternoon and evening and then overnight in the fridge but goodness me, it really was delicious! So delicious that I completely forgot to a take a photo of it! It was a brown colour and looked like soup and had bits of beef in.
It was a BBC Good Food Recipe: Oxtail Soup
The soup was this sort of brown

Rather than this sort of brown.

And just a wet!
Arn’t they lovely?
I saw them on the way back from crafting with friends just this afternoon. I braved Storm Imogen to get out of the car and take some pictures.
Waving to you today, hoping you are safe and warm and dry.
