amazing idea!

This is a bridge in Paris. You hang locks on it with the name of you & your boyfriend/girlfriend/bestfriend then throw the key into the river. So even though the friend/relationship may end, you can’t remove the lock. It stays there forever, as relevance to someone once a part of your life. - just added this to my bucket list!

Yummy Mushroom soup recipe!


2 onions, peeled & chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
500g (1lb) mushrooms, sliced
3 cups white or green tea or water
3-4 tablespoons natural yoghurt, to serve
1. Heat a generous glug of olive oil in a medium saucepan. Cook onion, covered for about 10 minutes or until soft. Stir every now and then.
2. Add garlic and mushrooms and stir fry for a few minutes.
3. Add tea or water and bring to the boil. Simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
4. Puree soup using a stick blender, leaving some chunks or however you like. Taste. Season serve with yoghurt on top.
VARIATIONS
dairy-free – skip the yoghurt and serve with a good drizzle of peppery extra virgin olive oil.
caffeine-free – use a caffeine-free tea or take the water option.
creamy soup – fans of creamy soups can stir in a few tablespoons of double cream after pureeing.

mushroom ragu
 – replace half the green tea with a can of tomatoes. Simmer until thickened and skip the pureeing step.
