Priceless Paintings from W7

I heard the stone soup tale before, but when a friend mentioned it again just recently, I decided to put this on my mental list of things to try out soon:

Invite a couple of friends. Ask everyone to bring one ingredient for a soup: a bunch of carrots or a kilo of pork feet, a clove of garlic or a chicken, root vegetables or 2 eggs – anything is allowed. Maybe one might want to narrow it down a little bit, but the idea is to keep the element of surprise.

Meet in the afternoon. Spread out the ingredients and decide on a plan. Discuss whether gaps may be filled from the larder or the local shops (and do so if agreed and necessary). Get some time-consuming task started (making broth from bones and knuckles, or dough for bread to go with the soup), then take a long walk. Maybe have a drink or two on your way back.

Then prepare soup and bread, eat, drink, enjoy.

Coming up soon in my house.
