| Leek Potato Soup |
with relatively few ingredients. This simple, warming soup was a big hit with everyone in our house. I liked it's velvety texture and the fact that few ingredients were required. Next time I will reduce the amount of salt and season at the end if required.

And now lets go and see what Kathryn has made over at The Hedgehog in the Kitchen. Ooooh, it looks like some yummy middle eastern lentils and rice from Veganomicon. I must give that one a try. Go Kathryn! Keep on cooking!
. These were very simple to prepare, just melt the chocolate or carob chips and mix in the remaining ingredients which included raisins, pecans, coconut flakes, almond or peanut butter, a bit of maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon. The mixture cooled and firmed up quickly making it easy to shape the cookies. We popped them in the fridge and after about 15 minutes, the upper limit of my daughter's waiting tolerance, she tried one. Total success! She loved them except for the raisins which were spit out, no surprise there. Then, it was my turn. I made a cup of tea, sat down and bit into chocolatey goodness. Mmmm, they almost taste like very firm fudge with chunks of pecans and raisins. I was only going to eat one because they are so rich but could not resist attempting a second.
by Mark Bittman for over a year and barely used it. It's ginormous and heavy, like a big, fat encyclopedia with no photos. It sits on the bookshelf in my kitchen and every now and then, I glance guiltily over at it's pretty, green spine and think I must use such an excellent resource but I'm not often inspired to pick it up. I can't imagine writing something like that, it must have taken forever.
