from plot to pot

oh what a shame. what was wrong with the flavour?

Oh Joan, I was getting ready to look up the recipe but shan't bother now !
Why do you think it was so horrible ? Thick broth type soup ?

hi SBG the flavour was ok till the coriander went in at the end..:o)
Shirley it was the taste and texture if i was served it in a resturant id have sent it back lol

lol joan , i dont like leeks anyway, awfull taste so will deffernatly miss this one ,, sorry you didnt get to enjoy it though

hi Sandra i do like leeks but ended up with cheese butty ha ha ,thought i was having a Nigella moment but turned into a kieth Floyd flop lol

lol joan, madning when your hungry and looking forward to it to, hungry myself so think its tea and toast before bed lol, nite joan ;o)) x

nite nite Sandra,goin myself now after long chat with 18 yr old son about love life, cant cope.. i am shattered .. drained..:o))

What a disappointment Joanella, the would have been much nicer gently braised in butter for a few minutes and served with poached chicken or fish.

Oh,dear,how annoying is that....but,the croutons look good :o)) I can't stand leeks as a vegetable on their own,but always put them in a stew.Shame about all your wasted effort though..

Bet you where cheesed off when you where so hungery, but it looked lovely.

just seen reply joan lol oh to be young hahah

hi Stroller.that sounds a lot better, i will tell peter and maybe he will feel sorry for me and give me some more then i will try it with fish lol :o)
Bloomer i do the same and put them in stews, it wasnt the leeks.. i think it was the coriander that did it..i have got loads of the stuff in my greenhouse and just checked on net slugs dont like it either so its all going on the plot round my veg lol:o)
thanx Clarice well its all sent to try us as they say ..i will know for next time..:o)
Sandra..a neighbour of mine said to me today "are you ok" i said yes but id be better off 10 years younger lol:o)

lol joan wouldnt we all hahah

Oh dear, it was sounding delicious too...lol! :o)

lol Sandra,never mind the cheese sandwich was ok ,cant go wrong with that although i did ask OH if he wanted coriander on his ...:o)

Oh what a disappointment.
When I use them I just make a base of veg. soup/stew by throwing everything in a big pot. Water or stock, onions, carrots, celery, leeks, potatoes, parsley & a bit of coriander ( cilantro ) garlic salt & pepper and it's delicious. Perhaps it was too much of one thing.

Oh forgot it's good to blend it hen cooked.

i know, the recipe did say to blend it but it must be the only kitchen gadget i dont have, cupboards full of other equipment i never use ,ah well its my birthday in a few weeks maybe someone will buy me one.. then that will go to the back of the cupboard for 6 months lol...
