French onion soup.

Jamie and I have both been struck down by nasty bugs recently, Jamie more so than I. He has been suffering badly from a flue that doesn't appear to want to leave his body. There seems to be a few nasty bugs floating around Sydney at the moment, and I think it might have something to do with the cold weather and rain we are having at the moment. For the past week I have left for work while Jamie makes his way from bed to couch where he curls up under a blanket. It is here that I find him, still lying, upon my return some 9 hours later :-(

By day 5 I decided to resort to a hearty home cooked soup that would warm his belly and hopefully encourage his body to finally kick that bug.

I made Donna Hay's French Onion Soup, and it turned out to be delicious! Her recipes never seem to fail me.



~ This soup made me cry - a lot! All those onions! ~



~ Donna recommends this soup should be served
with toasted cheese sandwiches ~

The verdict? Jamie is back to 100% health (though the jury is still out on whether this soup fixed him).

You can find the recipe here.

Hope you're all having a brilliant weekend!

  2. Hi Sam! I'm finally back into the commenting world, having finally gotten home to Portland after our time in New Zealand. I wanted to tell you that I've been reading your blog regularly and continue to be inspired by your great photos and amazing sewing projects (LOVE the dress). I am now getting back to blogging about similar stuff, and just wanted to say hi and let you know I'm still out here, and still reading!
