What to do on a Sunday afternoon??? Make cotton ruffle dishcloths. Do you think I should offer these for donations like I’ve done with squiggles in the past? Would anyone be interested?
DKM Nosh What to do with a pound of leeks?
Saute away!
1 pound leeks, cleaned and dark green sections removed, approximately 4 to 5 medium
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (or olive oil if Vegan)
Heavy pinch kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning
14 ounces, approximately 3 small, Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced small (I used Fingerling potatoes with skins on)
1 quart vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream (Or use a Vegan version)
1 cup buttermilk (If Vegan – use 1 cup soymilk with 1 tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice and allowing to sit for 5 minutes)
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon snipped chives (I’m out of chives so I tossed on Thyme)
Chop the leeks into small pieces. In a 6-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and a heavy pinch of salt and sweat for 5 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and cook until the leeks are tender, approximately 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the potatoes and the vegetable broth, increase the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and gently simmer until the potatoes are soft, approximately 45 minutes.
Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, buttermilk, and white pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately, or chill and serve cold.
Cook my lovely!
Enjoy!
A bun has got to hold out for that perfect rest spot I think.
The woman was all over that soup… I don’t know why.
Mommie said now that she’s seen tha soup, she can’t remember the furrst part of the post. :: nudges Mommie ML ::

Oh yes, brothers make great pillows. :)
A bro pillow! I bet it’s very soft and comfy!
We also do bro-pillow! Sometimes, it’s just the right comfy cushion!
Bruvvers make the best pillows. Mum’s just going to the garden to pull some leeks. We don’t know why.
We think we want some wabbits! They are absolutely soooo cute!!!!!
Our mom uses those round dishcloths as trivets for hot dishes on da table. Ruffly ones would look very nice too.
Great pictures, you guys are so good at snuggling together!

Cozy looking bunns! Yummy soup! What more could anyone want???
Having someone else, especially your bro, to be your pillow is good.
Looks like yum soup! I just had soup for lunch, but wasn’t as yum as yours looks.
Love the Monday Bunday!

For some of us, that post has it all!!!!
you guys sure do look cozy as ever! nice nosh too though i’d prefer mine raw!
I’ll have to try that soup. What’s that recipe again? Oh right, first you take a potato, and then you take a leek… ;-)
I love watching Alton Brown’s show. I get so many good ideas and he helps explain how all the chemistry and stuff works in a fun way. I’ve been thinking about making my own dishcloths. Do they hold up well with the washing? I’ve never used crocheted ones before? I like the one you made. ~Mom Jane of the FLuffy Tribe
