Unheard of.
Gippsland looks pretty in white.
No snow here but mid-afternoon, a blanket of hail turned the garden white.
I stayed indoors and made a big pot of mushroom soup, before venturing out late afternoon for an hour's walk with a rather impatient Goldie the elderly Brittany.
Easy mushroom and potato soup.
Gently warm 50g butter and 4 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy pot. Add 500g chopped mushrooms and three scored garlic cloves.
Saute for 10 minutes and then add four finely chopped potatoes, a cup of white wine, a sprinkling of chopped fresh oregano and two litres of chicken stock. Salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for half an hour or so. Cool slightly and blend until smooth.
Reheat and swirl some cream or milk through. Garnish with parsley and serve with warm freshly-baked bread from the oven.
Eat by the fire and then take a mid-winter afternoon nap.

My sister has some very pretty Gippsland snow pictures on her blog:

Mirboo North is an old haunt. My dad was the school principal for many years!
What can I say, Kimbofo, except: It's a small world!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful country down there - my sister lives near Toora, freezing at this time of year.
