Another Historic Scotland educational event with the home ed group yesterday – very entertaining, I learned things 
Photographer form P&J there by steps, should be something in Monday.
This is what happens when you add red cabbage to miso noodle soup (recipe here, scroll down a bit, there’s also tofu in pictured Disney cartoon soup):
onto the festive choc, there’s some really nice things around this year, a couple below:
Divine Christmas Dark Chocolate Foiled Balls
a vegetarian classic...
very thought provoking.
Very curious re chilli penguins , will have to buy them !!! Thanks for new soup receipe…family getting fed up of pumpkin !! ( had loads from the allotment this year ! )
Oooh, I got some of the minty misteltoe ones from Hotel Chocolat! Sooo yummy, only problem being there isnt enough for greedy me
Aaand the Divine chocolates my friends got me them for Christmas – though I have to pretend I dont know.
Not to mention I suspect my mum has bought me loads of Vegan Chocolates AND my nan has definitly bought me some! My first Vegan Christmas and there trying to fatten me up.
P.S That soup looks so lovely!
the penguins are grogeous, only slightly chillied! Most of our pumkins rotted inside
but we did get some small ones.
lovely fattening chocolatey Christmas
We used to LOVE educational jaunts like that! Stirling Castle, which is very near us, was a favourite as well as the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow.
The food looks very tasty and I might just be tempted by those chocolates…
BTW, Hayley seems to have shut down her blog. If you know an e-mail address for her, could you send it to me privately, please? I think it must be because of the horrible messages she was getting…
That soup looks interesting. Do you happen to know of any other good uses for red cabbage? I find the colour bleeds out everywhere.
Too much of my time has been spent over the past few months with the Badman education reforms in England. It’s now reached parliamentary bill stage and looks very worrying. I hope that the Lords can delay it until time runs out this parliamentary term if it cannot be amended.
I don’t have Hayley’s email Penny and am sad to hear what’s been happening
We like soused red cabbage cooked up with a little vinegar, water and onion then gravy made on it.
I know – the badman stuff is fascistic beyond belief…
Ive certainly been on a few educational visits as part of home-education groups in the past! Where is this one? It looks like one of the country houses which I’ve been visiting as part of my university course!
(I’m Penny’s son, btw)
It’s Duff House in Banffshire… fantastic art collection in there
