I love to put on the oldies station on my little vintage a.m. radio that mom and dad got me for Christmas last year, and sing along, and cook. That's what I did today. Cooked up a colourful borscht, the easiest recipe ever! And I have decided it's official.....borscht is my favourite soup in the world.
Such simple ingredients of cabbage, onion, garlic, beets, broth, beet water, salt and pepper, and lemon juice....makes one of the most flavourful soups ever! What an awesome budget dinner.
I could elaborate for a very long time about the delights of borscht.....I remember the time Beth and I went to Ukranian Cultural Heritage last year, and we had some borscht there....it was what inspired me to actually cook it for myself. I remember having borscht at my great aunt Helen's house in Edmonton as a child.....that and wonderful tiny ukranian cabbage rolls and amazing perogies...I remember Hilda K.'s borscht, too, at least I think it was hers - when the youth group was over there one time or something......anyway, heart warming memories. If you haven't noticed - I've really got a thing for soup!
Alas...I must get back to my next paper!
