It's been so busy, thank goodness for soup!
Well, term three began with a hiss and a roar, followed by a great deal of cold. Sickness threatened. And almost won out. However, soup was the total hero! Between all the frozen soup and easily made soup, we made it through the worst of it all. (I hope). Spring is in view, and soon the weather will warm.
This morning has been a great time to make more of the Kumara and Leek Soup, still my favourite of the season.
Knitting designs have slowed down with the busy-ness of the season sadly, but at least my Doctor Who Scarf is finished! I love it completely; even if it is a challenge to wear.
I also have a Doctor Who Scarf Beanie... made from the scraps, and this pattern will follow.
Currently I am working on a Bearded Beanie and Minion Mittens, as one reader has issued the challenge, so watch this space for a pattern.
With the Drama of the Earthquake (6.5) in Wellington on Friday when I was in town with 50 students, a few hit but not gaining more than minor scraps by falling ceilings, and all our transport cancelled, I am happy for a dull and dreary few days. (Here's hoping anyway).

Apple and Berry Crumble
This weekend Dad came over to help the husband install some sound system. Yes, I bribed with food. And praise. And beer. Shamelessly. Long time readers will be aware of all the berries we grew over summer, and how after washing them briefly, they got frozen. Now it was time for a comeback.
Ingredients
4 apples
1 cup mixed berries
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 knob butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup (honey or golden syrup can be used)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Peel and slice all the apples, and place in an oven proof dish. Sprinkle the frozen berries over the apples, stir in a little. Sprinkle the cinnamon on top of the fruit.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, maple syrup and brown sugar. Rub in the butter. When combined, spread over the fruit.
Bake for around 20-30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. Serve with custard or whipped cream.
