Roasted Cauliflower Soup

 I was very happy with this cauliflower soup I made based on this recipe.

Here is my recipe:

1 cauliflower cut into florets

1 red onion chopped or sliced

2-3 tbs olive oil

1/2 tsp salt for roasting

1 tsp salt for the soup

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp paprika

2 tbs lemon juice

2 cloves garlic minced

900 ml of chicken stock 

2 cups water

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tbs unsalted butter

1/2 tsp dried parsley

preheat oven to 425F

On a sheet lined with parchment paper, place cauliflower florets, onions, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, lemon juice, olive oil.  Bake 25-35 minutes until soft.  Transfer to a pot, add chicken stock, water, extra tsp of salt.  Bring to a boil and simmer 20 minutes.  Add nutmeg, parsley, and butter.

Blend the soup.

World Series Baseball loss and Baking Spray

 I finally found Pam baking spray at Walmart, it works wonderfully, sprayed on a cake pan before baking. It has flour in it as well as oil. I heard it is good for making bundt cakes.  I baked my potato fries with it and no sticking!

The Toronto Blue Jays lost the World Series to the LA Dodgers on Saturday, the whole country is sad and still recovering sigh.  It was an incredible season.

Shoulder Update

 I had my checkup with the surgeon this week and got the all clear, my shoulder was completely healed after 8 weeks and she doesn't need to see me anymore!  My shoulder only has a  minimal displacement.  I will continue with physiotherapy with no restrictions at least until the end of the month.  

It was a good news day, husband M and I celebrated with brunch at a restaurant near the hospital.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Bewitched Theme

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  The theme is Bewitched this week.  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil with the stars in acrylic.

For the Dinner Date I roasted some broccoli with onions.  I realized I like the onions sliced lengthwise as pictured. We then eat them as an extra vegetable, so flavourful.

Ingredients:

2 crowns of broccoli cut into smaller even sized pieces including the stems.

2 onions sliced lengthwise

2-3 cloves of garlic minced

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

2-3 tbs lemon juice

1/2 tsp dried herb such as tarragon

3-4 tbs olive oil 

Mix all ingredients together on a sheet lined with parchment paper.

Preheat oven to 400F.  Bake for 20 minutes.
