Beef/vegetable soup blues

It’s the day before pay day, and for the last 24 hours we have been living off Maiyuu’s beef and vegetable soup. ‘It’s filling, and I won’t have to spend any more before the money comes out,’ he said.

Cash ran out early this pay cycle, thanks to the birthday party he put on for me early last week, which already seems like a small age ago.

I bought a meal of fried rice/Chinese sausage at work last night, and Maiyuu has been nibbling on snacks, but other than that, we have lived solidly on his soup.

And yet another full-on soupy day lies ahead.

Roll on pay day!

    With winter fast approaching soup is a staple diet here.
    My favourite is Brocolli and Stilton and garlic bread. A real Sunday evening treat. :D

    Broccoli and stilton...who would have thought. It sounds delicious. Such a simple vegetable, but so good with cheese.

    Another simple vegetable which goes well with cheese (fetta, in this case), is asparagus. Blogger Sticky Rice has a recipe and mouth-watering pics below.
