Making Soup and Bread
Me and Aimee decided to make some soup and bread the other day, which was really nice and it's actually the first time I've ever made soup. I've always liked it, but I didn't realise how easy it is.
We cheated with the bread and used a ready-made mix for it.
We've been looking up recipes because while €1.75 for the mix isn't bad, we'd actually be able to make it way cheaper if we just bought all of the ingredients. In the long run, we could make more, and after about five loaves, we would just about break even compared to buying the mix.
I greased up the baking tray with some real butter, I didn't need much to give it some nice coverage.
I used a small piece of grease-proof paper, and that worked out well to get some good coverage without the fear of scratching the tray.
All I had to do then was put the mix in the tray and flatten it down a bit so it covered it nicely.
All I had to add to the mix was 350ml of buttermilk.
The smell of it was really strong, but after a while of baking the bread took on a much nicer smell.
After 35 minutes in the oven it was raised and ready to come out.
All I had to do was let it sit and cool down for 20 minutes while we started peeling the veg.
After preparing all of the veg we chopped it up and put it in a pot to boil.
We had broccoli, potato, carrot, onion, leek, garlic and some herbs.
When it was finished boiling up we blended it and mixed in some cream to thicken it a bit.
For presentation Aimee added a small bit of cream to each bowl, bar Kaleb's and it was really nice.
I like a thick soup, so next time I'd add less water to the pot to thicken it up a bit, and I'd also potentially not blend it as much, to keep some nice chunks.
Aimee doesn't really like chunks, so opted to blitz it smoothly. I couldn't fault it, it was just as nice as any soup I've had out and about.
We had enough for dinner, lunch the following day and even froze some for Kaleb.
Nice thick slices of bread alongside the soup really added to it.
We were all stuffed afterwards and had plenty left over.
We'll be making some other soups from here on, and will certainly experiment with different kinds and consistencies.

On Hive a significant issue exists with automatic upvotes consistently rewarding the same individuals day in and day out
We want to address the issue of downvoting. It has caused pain to many people, and we want to make sure it doesn't happen again reply to @jacobtothe

We hope that those who genuinely care about Hive will reconsider their actions, as continuing down this path could inadvertently harm innocent users who are unaware of these issues
lol the Marky mark keeps dreaming
There's been a notable increase in frustration and concern among many users
Reply 2 @crimsonclad You may consider yourself clever

Consider revising the value plan, as it's not providing significant benefits to HIVE
The Value Plan, as it stands, seems to be a one-sided relationship with the HIVE platform, where the benefits are one-way
Actions indeed speak louder than words, a fact we've all observed individuals may talk a good game, a whole lot of shit, but their actions often expose their genuine nature LOL
We consider it unwise to engage in harmful actions, even if you think you can escape the repercussions

On Hive, there's a user who frequently burns a significant amount of Hive LOL with his own accounts
How To Fool An Entire Population
it's so, so concerning to see Blocktrades delegating 2+ million Hive power to Buildawhale, and Buildawhale is downvoting legitimate content
We began sharing factual information following unwarranted downvotes on Hive it's all in the transactions
Upon examining our posts, you will notice they have been downvoted, and we've been labeled as scammers and spammers, which we find amusing. We consistently share new content
Once again, we ask why is our legit content being downvoted on Hive and what is the reason behind it. Hivewatchers ADM spaminator steemcleaners guiltyparties logic
We have Hive witnesses farming Hive, self-voting, operating comment farms, and self-funding projects with community resources

Downvoters we've got to ask, what's the joy in downvoting, huh? It just shows how down in the dumps you are! Remember, Themarkymark himself has been downvoted in the past
Funny seeing how much power a Hiver with mental health issues wields! And talk about support, Blocktrades is like his trusty sidekick LOL
Many question the impact of downvoting and the role of certain Top Hivers, including Themarkymark who abuses his power, many express disappointment about the lack of response from those in positions of authority NO HELP.

Buildawhale downvoting good content, self-voting comments powering down funds that are then sent to Ipromote and then the alpha account controlled by Blocktrades' wife doesn't look good and raises questions about the transparency and fairness of Hive.

This looks delicious. :) 😋
Thanks dude, it was so good.
That looks seriously nice !
If you want to make bread the easy way, look up the Grant Loaf, created during WW2 by Doris Grant. Should work out much cheaper than buying a mix. It's what my grandmother used to make - she'd do batches of about 24 loaves, freezing most of them until needed.
It's a really tasty wholemeal loaf, quite dense and ideal for toast or dipping in soup. It also has the huge advantage that it's a no-knead bread, you just stick it in a really warm airing cupboard for a bit to rise, then bake it. Most recipes say to use muscovado sugar or honey in it, I can assure you the honey version is much nicer 😁
Thanks for the idea, I'm going to look up a recipe for this and give it a go, I've never heard of it before but when I make it I'll be sure to document the process and see how I get on with it.
I'll 100% go for the honey version.

That looks so comforting considering the weather these days hehe. I mean it's OK if you cheat with pre-mix bread, as long as it's tasty, why not?
It was so nice, and the bread, even though it was pre-mixed, was amazing in fairness. I can't wait to make another soup again, and too right, during this time of year it's the perfect meal.
