Porcini could work nicely in this though it's quite a strong taste - you could either add a small amount of porcini or another full-flavored mushroom you like.Annemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611096567139013824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-70475029017582988362007-11-01T14:55:00.000+00:002007-11-01T14:55:00.000+00:00the soup looks very inviting , what would be a goo...the soup looks very inviting , what would be a good option for a non pork eater ???Kajal@aappleminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819739373540082280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-62114775658937950412007-11-01T12:17:00.000+00:002007-11-01T12:17:00.000+00:00Hi Lydia - yes, I really like that picture too - I...Hi Lydia - yes, I really like that picture too - I couldn't resist including it. It was such a peaceful little scene.<BR/><BR/>Hi Wendy - my partner (and his other male friends) has explained this phenomenom to me. Men, they say, like to *accomplish* something with their exercise. A gentle ramble does smack of enough accomplishment for them. I accept it, but I just don't get it.<BR/><BR/>Hi Nimaheen - yes, I'm a bit scared of rodents and things running out, I'll confess. But thank god for walking boots and trousers tucked in socks. :)Annemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611096567139013824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-25127670474885611432007-11-01T10:44:00.000+00:002007-11-01T10:44:00.000+00:00Oh, I love long walks, and kicking the leaves, alt...Oh, I love long walks, and kicking the leaves, although sometimes there are some surprises in there which has put me off that particular bit!

But a long walk in the forest or around a loch? No way. ???<BR/>The soup sounds delicious!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157804056370219398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819270143119857602.post-42806509366213522502007-11-01T04:19:00.000+00:002007-11-01T04:19:00.000+00:00Your last photo, close the ground with the swarmin...Your last photo, close the ground with the swarming trees is so whimsical, very nice.
