Ingredients:

1 cube chicken stock

500 grams (1 lb) frozen peas

2 mediums potatoes, diced

salt & pepper to taste

250 grams (½ pound) fresh spinach, chopped

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons yoghurt

pot

immersion blender

stove

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Place pototoes in a medium sized pot with a little bit of water and some salt & pepper. Place lid on and cook for 20 minutes until almost soft.
  2. Add peas and cook for a further 5 minutes until potatoes are soft and cooked through.
  3. Add spinach and cook a further 3 -5 minutes, until wilted.
  4. Take off the heat and let cool for a few minutes, then blend to a puree with an immersion blender.

  6. Serve immediately, scattered with some crispy croutons or bacon bits (or if you're like me and you just have some cheesegrillers on hand, fry them up in thin slices with a bit of sweet chilli sauce and use as topper).

When taken in large doses nutmeg works as a hallucinogen.

Food Joke

Mother Teresa dies and of course goes directly to heaven. God greets her and asks her, "After you get familiar with this place, how about we have dinner together?" "I would love to eat dinner with you!" Later that evening they meet up for dinner and she takes a seat at the dining room table. God is in the kitchen and starts preparing a very simple meal: one can of tuna fish and some crackers. Through some cracks in the floor, Mother Teresa looks down at Hell; she sees fire and red hot flames with hundreds of thousands of people, and they are dining on lobster, fine wine, chocolate cakes, steaks, pancakes, row after row of fine food. Mother Teresa can't help but ask, "God, look at how they're eating down there. Shouldn't we be dining even better than Hell? You are just serving canned tuna and crackers..." God says, "Well, I figure since it's just the two of us, why cook?"
