Hearty vegetable stew and dumplings

It was my turn to cook Sunday lunch today. I made a hearty vegetable stew with parsley dumplings. I chopped the parsley with the mezzaluna that I was given as a present at Christmas time.

The meal was very straightforward to make. I cooked the dumplings in a separate pan, in boiling water that had a vegetable stock cube crumbled into it. I had put some pearl barley in with the vegetables but I needed to thicken the stew towards the end. I know some folk don’t like using corn flour, but I think it works just fine.

Last night I enjoyed playing my gig at Helles Angels in SL. Not a lot has been happening lately in first life. I am ploughing on with my autobiography and have been working on the period when I went to Leicester university in my mid-20s.

Speak to you later.
