My little fish

We took Wesley to the swimming pool last Friday, and he LOVED it! He was splashing and kicking his legs, and after almost 45 minutes in the water, I told Wesley and Adam it was time to go home. I am just the mean old fart. I am taking him to a baby swimming class this Friday. Hopefully he will have as much fun with me as he did with daddy!

  2. since we talk about fish, and you got a fish, and you ask for soup recipes; i´l give you recipe of Finnish salmon soup

    4 portions

    1 salmon fillet (500 – 600 gr)
    1 ½ liters water
    1 kg potatoes
    2 onions
    2 dl cream
    1 – 2 tsp salt
    10 white / black peppers
    3 tbs shredded dill
    50 gr butter

    (i also add chopped carrots)

    Peel and cube the potatoes. Cut each onion into 4 pieces. Pour water into a saucepan and add the salt, peppers, onions and cubed potatoes. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer at a low heat for approximately 15 minutes.

    Cut the salmon fillet into 5 - 6 slices. Add the cream and shredded dill to the saucepan. Place the salmon fillet slices in the soup and boil for approximately 5 more minutes. Add the butter and decorate the soup with some shredded dill.

    Serve the Salmon Soup hot together with rye bread slices and butter.

  3. another good soup:

    Finnish Spinach soup

    3 tablespoons margarine
    5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    1 liter milk
    150 g finely chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1/8 teaspoon white pepper
    4 hard-boiled eggs

    1
    Melt margarine in a pot, add flour and mix well with a whisk.
    2
    Add about half of the milk and whisk vigurously to get rid of any lumps. Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and begins to boil.
    3
    Add the rest of the milk and the spinach, whisk. Allow to boil for a few minutes. Keep stirring often as milk-based soups stick to the bottom of the pot easily!
    4
    Add salt, sugar and white pepper, mix.
    5
    Divide between soup bowls; peel boiled eggs, halve them, and place two egg halves on top of each bowl of soup.

    Bon appetit!
