Leeks

Christmas planning today but when I’d had enough of that I decided to make one of my favourites: leek and potato soup. With a touch of nutmeg.

Best left overnight before tasting it. I love the way the sliced leeks curl once cut. I was always told to slice the leeks lengthways in quarters from near the root base. Made cleaning out any trapped soil under the tap much easier.

We could do with a few more leaks to find out what’s really going on in Brexit discussions. The tight radio silence on the details of the negotiations must mean something.
