The Elephant Garlic Stone

[nusbacher]

You know the Stone Soup story, I expect.  Today I made stone soup, but I started with a head of elephant garlic from Secretts.

I also bought a butternut squash (a beautifully formed specimen) and Abby insisted on some vast portobello mushrooms.  Celery makes everything better, especially if it's unidentifiable.  So I roasted the squash, sauteed

It sounds delicious! I need to stock up my veggie crisper since I'm finishing off the last of its holding in an oven bake with chicken and rice. But it's always worth it for the smell of a warm home-cooked meal wafting through the house, isn't it?

It is ... except, of course, when you've been making halibut.

The soup came out very well, if a bit sweet. A bit more red wine next time, I think -- for now you have to eat a piece of cheese afterwards. Unless you're Abigail in which case you have to eat a piece of turkish delight afterwards.

Turkish delight?

*crosses eyes attempting to imagine ever wanting to eat that*

Children are strange and mysterious creatures!
