Sunday I was driving home from the Klotz wedding and I was REALLY thirsty. It lead me to swing by Wolf's for some fresh, local produce. I picked up some orange cauliflower but had to wait until last night to make a little feast.
Left over from last week's CSA share and inspired by Shannon I decided I needed to find something to do with my left over turnips and newly purchased orange cauliflower. A quick trip to Google on the bberry brought me to About.com's recipe for turnip soup. I had most of the ingredients on hand- except the white wine so I subbed the very thing that ruined it...white wine vinegar. To make up for the sourness of it all, I thought adding SOUR cream would help calm it down...in this case, two negatives do not equal a positive. (sour + sour = more sour.)
The plate looks pretty (and the chicken, garlic bread and salad were deeelish) but the soup was not great. If I had to do it again (and I might) I'd take out the wine all together and just do skim milk after they're all cooked and drained.
Lastly- according to the baby emails, I'm going to pack on between 12-14 pounds in the next twelve weeks, aka the second trimester. I'm looking forward to this since I'll actually look pregnant. Here's a shot of me and Fancy. Please note the Wonder Woman underoos and the lasso. I didn't want to expose my underpants. Belly's coming in a little...
