Managed to leave a courgette on the plant long enough to become a four pound marrow and decided to make this soup.
not my marrow
1 large bulb of garlic, seperated into cloves, root end cut off but not skinned. Roasted in oven in a couple of tablespoons of oil for about 20 minutes.
1 large onion, chopped and sweated in a large saucepan in a tablespoon of oil (and optional butter)
2 Ib peeled and deseeded marrow, chopped roughly.
1 1/2 pints stock (I used veggie)
Add the marrow to the cooking onions and squeeze the roasted pulp out of the garlic. I got fed up doing this and ended up just removing the peel and bunging the cloves in whole. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add the liquid. Bring to the boil and cook for about 20-30 minutes, depending how big your lumps of marrow. Remove from heat, liquidize and/or pass thru a seive (optional).
I pepped the soup up a bit with some turmeric and curry powder then swirled some cream through it ~ beautiful.

With a 7-inch capacitive touch screen, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G and 5 megapixel camera, 1.9GHz Moorestown chip Android 2.1 (Froyo to come?) it should fly. Give us access to the Android Market and 32Gb internal storage, a price arounf 400 quid and it might be a goer.
OpenPeak are the people that brought us the O2 Joggler so they’ve got a real history in bringing OEM tech’ kit to market, let’s keep our fingers crossed
Okay, I know I can do distributed blogging from different locations and users to my WordPress site but what about from my Android 1.6 phone?
Yup seems it is possible and with my G1’s QWERTY keyboard not too much of a pain, cut and pasting URLs will be a pain but doable.
Let’s see if I can add a picture ~ this is a bit of Bansky type graffiti in Sheffield

We have a glut of cucumbers from the greenhouse. I’ve made Pru Leith’s cucumber soup before but thought I’d try a different recipe from here:
4 unwaxed cucumbers (if waxed, peel 50%), unpared
1 lg. sour cream
1 med. onion (on sm. side)
1 clove garlic (on sm. side)
1/2 can each Campbell’s pea soup & chicken broth (don’t reconstitute)
2 drops Worcestershire sauce
Dash lemon juice
1 tbsp. thyme & oregano
Generous handful fresh parsley, removing most of stems
Salt & pepper to tasteIn blender/food processor, combine in small batches the cucumbers, garlic, onion, both soups and parsley. (Pre-chopping makes the first 3 ingredients blend better.) Pour into large bowl and add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, spices and sour cream. When all pureed, mix and taste. Adjust according to your palate. Chill before serving. Garnish with a few chopped chives, parsley, a slice of lemon, or a couple of the above. Keeps well (if you can keep your family’s hands off!). Yield: 2 quarts.
This one looks easy and as I also have lots of home grown onions and garlic it seems a good one to go for. I’ll be using Henderson’s relish instead of Worcester sauce as I’m a Sheffield boy. The Campbell soups may be substituted ith something else too. I’ll update this post with pic’s of the process and comments on the finished article.
Sowed Winter Density lettuce and corn salad up on the allotment. They’ll both need a bit of protection from hard frosts and I must remember how to thin and when.
