Mmmm. That bread sounds scrumptious, Paddymac. Morticia, what are courgettes?

Someone hypothisized that chicken soup is good for healing because of the garlic and its tonic effect on the blood. I have no idea, really, but I love to make chicken soup with homemade noodles with dill or parsley in the noodles and lots and lots of garlic. Yummoid.

I'm beaming some Karen's way even as we speak.

And yes, pumpkin pie is most welcomed -- that, too, helps in healing, as does my squash soup, because of the sky-high Vitamin A content.

I do find it curious that none of our 'Cateers has offered chocolate yet. I didn't think it was possible for this group of foodies to gather without chocolate insinuating itself into the mix ...

I'll think of something chock-y tonight. gotta work ...

I think we need some more music to accompany us while we cook, however. ... Someday I am going to have a huge kitchen specifically with room at one end for big chairs and a sofa so the musicians can sit around and jam while the cooks get supper ready. Of course, while I'm waiting for the broth to boil or the bread to brown, I'll amble down there and do some harmony ...
