[slinky.kate]

I am visiting my sister tomorrow ,so the soup is for her,curry for dinner tonight and the scones for (((me)))

[vakayu]

Hi kate,when making the soup is olive oil essential or will veg oil do just the same,apart from taste obviously?

[shoota]

I always use butter in soups for sweating onions and veg.

[vakayu]

Hi shoota I usually mix butter and veg oil,but most recipes I have seen advise olive oil which I am not a great lover of at the best of times.

[Hopkirk]

Can I lick the bowls please?

[Ric.ror]

[vakayu]

Thanks for that kate,I just wondered was it as essential as they make out?

[shoota]
