Shout out to Otter Creek Farms and the Henderson family for a surprise delivery of potatoes and onions the other day. Cold Vermont spring day, box full o’ onions – sounds like French Onion soup time. The kids moaned and groaned hearing that the main ingredient in the soup is going to be an onion but I found that a few strips of duct tape placed strategically across their mouths worked nicely to minimize the whining.
Tonight’s menu:
French Onion Soup
Steamed broccoli
Roasted Pork Loin
Pears
The duct tape, okay, that never made it past a beauftifully imagined scene in my head. Turns out that turning the stereo up a few notches worked just as well. And my kids, did say the soup wasn’t as bad as they thought. Hah.
