What's missing

On Monday night for dinner I made some pumpkin soup and had it with some bread.  The kids love it and its good and healthy. 

We sat down to eat and I tasted the soup.

What is missing?

It tasted like............

boiled pumpkin.

I thought and thought what was different to the other times I had made this soup.

I added the pumpkin (of course) and a sweet potato and carrot.

And then I remembered.

I forgot to cook up the onion, garlic (and even left my special ingredient - soy sauce) prior putting in the vegetables and stock.  The whole first section of the recipe was missed out. 

So basically it had no flavour.

Oh well, you win some and loose some.  The kids still liked it.

Well if the kids liked it then that's a victory in itself! I'll never forget the most basic mistake I'd ever made. I was pressed for time so I decided to make a packet mix cake for my son's birthday. Now I'm usually one to bake cakes from scratch and had never used a packet mix before so when the cake came out as hard as a rock, I thought they were completely overrated and that I'd never try them ever again! That was until I read through the instructions again and realised that the one thing I'd left out was...a cup of water! Nonetheless, I've stuck with traditional baking from scratch ever since!

Hehe memories memories Smiling I made a lasagne one time (first time I'd made it on my own) and I forgot all the herbs so it basically tasted like tomato, white sauce and pasta - VERY BLAND lol

WE all forget to put ingredients in cooking I do and I am or use to be a cook.At lease the family ate it.It was healthy too.

at least they ate it (hopefully without complaints). sometimes when we cook something over and over we become complacent and its easy to miss something- i guess next time you will concentrate a bit more

Hi Sus
Sometimes, it is harder to think about what is NOT in something.
