Ends or Beginnings?

Ends of leeks. Beginnings of soup. Braise the leeks in butter, along with a couple of giant handfuls of chopped sorrel fresh from the garden. Add thinly sliced potatos and water and salt. Simmer til it make the house smell delicious. Eat with a loaf of Mr S's sourdough bread. Yum. It's a simple winter meal on another of our eternal summer evenings. We are starting to be concerned again about water. It should be raining and we are instead gifted with one fabulous blue sky after another. Hard to complain about that, except we see what isn't there, and worry.
