Crafternoon and Cooking

We've had mixed weather this week, the worst of it was during the weekend as it rained quite heavily throughout and continued to do so on the Monday.  Needless to say, both Benedict and Pip were fed up with being cooped up indoors, so a Bank Holiday Monday Crafternoon was the order of the day.

Whilst Pip was with Abi for the morning, Benedict worked on the first of his Tuesday morning lunch preparation classes.  The task was for him to choose a dish, prepare it, cook it, serve it and eat it!!  It also included all kitchen tidying and  washing and drying of dishes.  The chosen dish was tomato and rice soup with red pepper pesto croutons:

 

 

 

 

 

Being brave and finely chopping the onions, thankfully no tears!

 

 

 

Voila!  Yummy, scrummy soup.

 

 

I think stuffed baked potatoes and salad are on the menu for next week.
