Hungarian Soup

Hungarian Mushroom Soup

From Fran Earle

Ontario, Canada

After I first met my husband-to-be, I had planned a lovely holiday meal. I had shopped til the fridge was bursting and on that morning, just as I was starting to prepare for dinner, my darling insisted that we drive 100 miles to Niagara Falls to see the Christmas lights - on the condition that we return in time to still prepare dinner that evening (family was coming over), I nervously agreed to go. The Christmas lights were spectacular, the day was sheer heaven, and we did indeed return in time to prepare what ended up being one of our most delicious, elegant and most memorable meals - Michael rolled up his sleeves and helped me put everything together with such eagerness that the dinner was perfect - not one guest ever suspected that I hadn't been in the kitchen slaving all day. This soup has since evolved to become "THE" soup and whenever we have it, we remember again the warmth of that very special day and the budding love that showed its face then.

Cast Iron Cookware

It has been said, over and over in fact, that there is nothing better than food prepared in a cast iron pan. Several dishes, including Mexican fajitas, Cajun seafood, sausage & eggs, and of course, cornbread, are hailed as delicious when prepared in these pans. Cast iron is also the cookware of choice amongst serious campers and hikers, but be sure to bring the pack mule, this stuff is heavy!
