Well then.

That was a long time between posts! I can't believe it's been Christmas and New Year since I last posted. I was home for Christmas, poorly for a couple of days and didn't see as many people as I wanted to but it was lovely. Christmas at Binge Farm was gorgeous and it was great to spend time with the Family. 
 back in Kuwait now, after an easy flight back. Slept all day yesterday (what is it about travelling that is so exhausting?!) and was in school this morning, rearranging the classroom. 3Red won't know what's hit them when they come back! Making some butter nut squash soup for the week ahead (in a vague attempt at being healthy and to try out the blender I got at the supermarket) and am going to actually make my own lunch rather than buy pizza from the canteen! Here's to New Years Resolutions and all that jazz! Any NYR's on the horizon? Mine's mainly to be healthier and to continue saving money (oh down payment for a holiday home you will be mine!!!) . 

Here's a recipe for you:

Garlicky Butternut Squash Soup

You need:
- 1 large Butternut Squash
- 1 bulb of Garlic (yes, an entire bulb)
- 2 red onions
- 1l of vegetable stock.

1) Slice the Butternut Squash lengthways and put skin down on a baking tray
2) Peel the bulb of garlic and scatter the cloves around the squash
3) Chop the onions into big chunks and place around the squash and garlic
4) Roast until the squash is tender (20-30 mins)
5) Separate the flesh and skin of the squash and put about 1/4 of the veg into a blender along with about a 1/4 of the liquid, blend until smooth and pop into a pan to keep warm. Repeat until you've blended all of the veg and stock together. 
6) Season and heat through.
