Sage-flavoured red lentils soup today for lunch
I'm definitely planning on salad at some point today.
A couple of months ago I bought half a dozen Heinz soups (they were cheap(ish)) as a "just in case measure". I never opened any until today. This is their Scotch broth which I really enjoyed.
Scotch Broth is my favourite tinned soup - but Baxters is much better than Heinz. They use mutton which gives the broth a great flavour.
Did you sous vide?

Beggars cannot be choosers I'm afraid. I always preferred Baxter's soups in UK but they are not available here.
BTW, Stanley Baxter was 94 years old last weekend.
[Edit: I used to love his translations of Glaswegian into English - "Repaironem" and "Tummeltinta"]

No, not really worth it with lamb rack - it only takes around 15 mins in the oven. The meat was cooked before the crust was, well, crusty. Next time I need to reduce the cooking time but increase the temperature.

Dinner this evening was fish, chips and mushy peas, take away from our local pub, proper crispy batter. Couldn't eat it all

Do you ever get the urge for a Vesta Curry?A couple of months ago I bought half a dozen Heinz soups (they were cheap(ish)) as a "just in case measure". I never opened any until today. This is their Scotch broth which I really enjoyed.

What would you make that needs to burn for 60 minutes?

LOL! I personally wouldn't, and I don't own one. But morning glory had mentioned in another thread that it was a great way to get a crust on meat and other foods. And actually if I wasn't so afraid of burning myself or setting my kitchen on fire, I would buy one. Every once in awhile I could use a little extra sear on my steaks or other foods.
