Your descriptions of food made me feel hungry:) I shall make some leek and potato soup for lunch today and I shall get my slow cooker out too, it's a good while since I last used it but this autumn and winter I shall bring it back into play again. Hope you are feeling better now, meant to comment a couple of days ago but having a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old around has limited my activities considerably!Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-66271072614566899002010-09-16T02:50:21.887+01:002010-09-16T02:50:21.887+01:00Tricia, you ARE a one woman army when it comes to ...Tricia, you ARE a one woman army when it comes to cooking.

Champ is an Irish dish of mashed...Hi Brenda,<br /><br />Yep.<br /><br />Champ is an Irish dish of mashed potato with the addition of spring onions, milk and butter. As per below:<br /><br />To cook champ, peel and boil some new season potatoes (about a pound per person) until just cooked.<br /><br /><br />Drain the potatoes and leave in a collander. Chop a bunch of Spring onions (bulbs and stalks) into half inch lengths and place in the empty pot. Cover with full-cream milk and bring it to the boil. Let it simmer for 3 minutes to allow the onion flavour to be released into the milk and then add the potatoes and a generous dollop of butter. Using a masher or wooden spoon, mash until smooth.<br /><br />Serve with Lamb or Pork for a true taste of the emerald isle.<br /><br />Its comfort food of the highest order and is also good with sausages and onion gravy. Its a good cheer up dish when you are on a downer, very simple to prepare and tastes really good.<br /><br />Thanks for popping by. Look forward to hearing from you again.<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703817848238285099.post-13151475475124190562010-09-15T23:42:39.509+01:002010-09-15T23:42:39.509+01:00it is spring in my zone, but today is cold windy a...it is spring in my zone, but today is cold windy and very very wet (again) can i come to dinner please, as i could do with some nice warm food. pud sounds good too. what is "champ"?Brenda The Bregle Rebel Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339446362664808456noreply@blogger.com
