Due to hubby being very late home last night (as in well after meal time and bed time) we'r had a single portion of soup left. The original plan wad that I'd cook another soup to eat cold but by tbe time I got home from my medical appointment it was already midday and +36°C so there was no way I was cooking for an hour (the soup, a cold borscht, needs simmer for 45 minutes). The house wad going to very hot enough without help and the air quality was already too low to be cooking outside (we're now in dense bush fire smoke and I can't venture into certain rooms in the house because if the smell of smoke from windows that don't quite fit properly).
So tea was a what can I do to pad out the single portion of soup? 1 avocado cut into dice, the last cherry plum tomatoes, some falafels found in tbe back of the fridge and the sprouted lentils and mung beans padded out the soup nicely. Dessert was a Ben's and Jerry's Dairy free 'frozen dessert', chocolate fudge brownie.
Not quite as photogenic as previous nights but it disappeared without complaint.
Somehow with a 43°C forecast for tomorrow and not being able to user the gas BBQ to cook on (it has rings as well) which was the whole idea behind getting on (when it's too hot to cook inside, cook outside, I just hadn't factored in the bush fires), I need to work out what I'm going to make for tea. We may be on sandwiches!
