Continuing from earlier, the visit to Bear’s Mom means I don’t have to cook. So there goes quiche. I might make it anyway, tomorrow, and keep it for lunches for Tuesday and Wednesday.
As expected Mom had made waffles, pretty little fan shaped ones that were lush with coffee. She’d also made Goulash soup, which had me wondering for a moment if I was going to like it… I’m not a fan of Goulash usually, but it was so good, I polished off 3 bowls and 2 warm bread rolls with butter.
Then she gave me a BIG box of white chocolate swirls that she’d received as a gift from her husband’s friend’s daughter. Both Bear’s Mom and her husband have heart issues and now in their early/mid 70’s are trying to avoid sugary things so she passed them on to us. They won’t last long once Bear opens them, so I’ll have to keep them hidden away and ration him.
We’re both still trying to get back to our pre-Christmas weight, so all this chocolate is not doing us any good either… but we’re suckers for chocolate, so it’ll probably be devoured, we’ll regret it and promise ourselves no more chocolate… and in two weeks time there’ll be more she wants rid of… 😀 Well, someone has to deal with it for her… 😉
The Goulash soup is made with topside of beef, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and red onions in a thick tomato sauce and seasoned with paprika and a little cayenne pepper. I had it in Germany once, where it was made with pork. It put me right off the stuff and I haven’t touched pork since either.
Tonight I think we might start Star Trek: Voyager… Bear has a gleam in his eye that tells me he’s looking forward to ogling Seven of Nine… He has a thing for subtly sarcastic women… 😀
