The weather is unseasonably warm this November afternoon but it still feels like fall. Shorter days and cooler nights have me thinking of hibernation and those extra layers I’ll want to put on to keep warm until spring.
Panfried leeks and garlic, boiled with thinly cut potatoes in a lamb bone stock from the freezer. Pureed when cooked through. A squiggle of cream, a squiggle of Sriracha and then topped with coarse salt, fresh ground pepper, and grated parmesan. If that doesn’t warm your belly then I don’t know what will.

I am not sure what it is about today’s never-ending snowfall that makes me think of melted cheese, but I’m not going to fight it. Especially after hauling a hundred pounds of children to school on an unwaxed sled. And also especially, after shovelling twice today, and you can’t even tell. I think dinner today may also need to include melted cheese.
Toast, put under the broiler with cheese, onions and tomatoes, until just bubbling, and topped with shovels of black pepper. Served with butternut squash soup I rescued from the freezer. Bring on the snow… I mean melted cheese.

You know that cool dark shelf in your kitchen, where you keep the onions and root vegetables and such? I always forget about that shelf. That’s the shelf that turns potatoes into plants. About a week ago I found a butternut squash there, that I can barely remember buying. Time to make soup before it walks away! I cut it into chunks and roasted it with some onion and garlic. Then the kids came home, so I put it in the fridge, and forgot about it, again. A few days later (today), I found it, once again, and finally finished making the soup.
Roasted butternut squash, onion, and garlic, pureed and added to a pot of veggie stock. Simmered for a bit, then added some cream and a sprinkling of salt. Served with a dollop of yogurt, Marie Sharp’s hot sauce, and some parsley I had forgotten about in the dehydrator.
