Pumpkin soup with fish stock

Yes you heard me. That's right. In fact it wasn't even fish stock but prawn stock, from the shells of some very large shrimp we had in a curry. Which was bizarrely made with butter... weird combo, but it seemed to work. So, fry your onions and soften your pumpkin, whizz it with the stock and season up. Served here with dark rye sourdough and it was delicious. For a highly comforting, if proteinless, meal, it was great. 

Salmon with sweet potato

 

No recipe needed, just a reminder about a nice, light, quick dinner. The skin was particularly crispy and lovely on this one, which is an extra bonus. Sweet potato microwaved, the sauce is a yoghurt/mayo/caper/lemon mix. Mmm. 

Baked Eggs for Two

Just one of those things that one forgets to make, it's so simple.

chopped ham
4 eggs
40g grated cheese
80ml cream

Grease a couple of ramekins and put the ham at the bottom. Combine the rest of the stuff, season, and pour on top of the ham. Bake at 150 for 25 minutes or until just cooked. Serve with toast fingers.
