CoastBuote likes the Bicycle Thief (who wouldn’t?) and HeraldSpurr visits Two if By Sea for some croissant love and a truck with something different to offer–soup.
Soup’s on the Move was wedged between Farmer Clem’s and Irving on the Bedford Highway, but has moved over to Dartmouth for the summer.
And speaking of soup, this miserable achy-bone creaky-joint weather just begs for soup. Comforting, liquid love by the spoonful.
One of my favourite soups is a roast garlic and potato puree. Filling, warming, and relatively healthy. And easy.
Put a head of garlic on a small pan and drizzle with olive oil. Roast in oven until soft. While the garlic’s roasting, boil 4 or 5 potatos–Yukon Golds are nice. Drain, but save the potato water. Squeeze the garlic cloves–the roasted, buttery garlic will come out easily. Use a potato masher and mash potatoes and garlic together. Add a little of the potato water until it gets to the consistency that you like your soup. Season with salt and pepper. Yum!
