Enjoying the harvest

Were our sheep too generous with their gifts to our garden? We are getting carrots that really earn their name.

Hello,  honey!

So yesterday they were honoured to become our evening dinner, a minestrone soup... We have got very fond of the yellow carrots because they seem to keep well in the cellar all winter - originally the carrots were yellow, so in the Middle Ages nobody had yet seen an orange one... (Sorry, a historian on the loose!)

Our favourite kitchen machine is this vehicle that I found from a local flee market with one euro. It does not need any electricity, it is functional and the result is beautiful.

Carrots, potatoes, celeriac, parsnip, onions - our mostly used vegetables - and some Hungarian pasta, a suvenier from a trip, and voilà, a minestrone with some honey bread!

There is nothing better than a soup on a chilly evening with a mist landing on the fields - and a warm fire on the stove.
