What a classic autumn day ! It was very cold overnight and when I got up at 2 am to collect daughter18 from a party I could see the beginnings of fog lying in low clouds over the parks. When I threw back the doona at about 7.30 it was really chill and totally windless and very, very foggy. I headed off to meet a sweet, sweet friend at Cafe Moravia for a capuccino and then totally indulged myself with an Italian hot chocolate - wow - so thick, akin to a liquid chocolate mousse ! I had nothing on my agenda for this autumn day after coffee but a string of chores. And after the mayhem of the last week these were in abundance ! So I made barley soup, roasted a tray of capsicums, weeded an out of control patch of garden, swept the deck and porch, made banana pancakes for daughter18's brunch, walked dogs, ran 4kms, sorted washing and went to the gym. The day stayed still, even though I did not. It got to about 14 C and the evening has closed in early. I now can tuck myself into bed with a great sense of satisfaction that I used my time on this 'stay at home Sunday' very wisely.
The barley soup looks delicious. Is it a Recipezaar recipe?
