Hungarian Mushroom Soup

Do you know why we have eyebrows?
They were put there to act as miniature umbrellas for our eyes, so when we sweat or it rains, the eyebrow hair catches the moisture and diverts it around our eye so it doesn't interfere with our vision. Interesting? I thought so! Don't ask how I know this, all I will say is it had something to do with me Googling "why do we get goosebumps?" I was in an inquisitive mood yesterday what can I say.

I made a pot of Spaghetti for dinner last night, with store bought sauce, but I spiced it up with fresh basil, tons of freshly smashed garlic, oregano, and Parmesan reggiano. I think B thought it was completely from scratch..oops! There was a ton leftover, so I planned on heating it up for dinner again tonight, but as I ate my toast and egg whites (yes D.D, I'm still on that kick) I started catching up on blogs I follow. Thanks to Kevin the leftover spaghetti is still sitting in the fridge because instead, I made Hungarian Mushroom Soup and pan fried Pemeal Bacon. The soup was very flavourful, although next time I will puree it, as I found the texture of the mushrooms a little disturbing.





What have you readers been cooking up lately? Share some recipes with me, I'm always on the lookout for new ones.

  2. Thanks Sook! It was SO easy to make, try it! Im sure you would enjoy Hungarian food, most of it is rather spicy and as far as I know Korean food usually has a kick to it aswell.
