Well Tabby's Tunes' Summer Term is nearly over, all change for September! Saying goodbye to children I have seen every week since they were 4 months old has been very emotional for me! However welcoming new parents, carers and children is always uplifting. Some of the 'babies' are now racing around on their feet, walking for the first time and moving up to the Toddler classes. Last week we enjoyed the FOOD theme so I thought you might like some lyrics to some of the songs PLUS my Grandmother's much loved recipe for Watercress soup and a recommendation, a new food passion of mine - Guava Jelly! Both of which we enjoyed when some fellow parents from school came round the other evening for a hilarious ab-aching Soup & Cheese Quiz Night... I digress!! Please see below the soup recipe and the lyrics. LOL Tabby x -: Recipe :-Watercress Soup:
Firstly de-stalk the watercress. This is the only time consuming part but worth the effort, sorry. Chop up the leeks. Try and use the softer most tender parts of the leek. Peel and chop up the potatoes. Add the butter to the saucepan and melt. Once the butter is melted add the watercress, leeks and potatoes and mix so that everything is coated in the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over a low heat for 20 minutes. Next add the stock and cook until all the vegetables are tender. Allow to cool and then liquidise and poor in the cream. Now on the evening of our quiz night I serve this soup with baguettes, good old mature cheddar and guava jelly. You just cut a generous slice of the jelly and place on top of the cheddar - delicious! Tesco certainly used to sell this however you can buy it on eBay or if you have a Portuguese or Brazilian food shop near you they should sell it. The brand of guava jelly I found was Predilecta. -: Lyrics :-Now for a happy sing song at home. Here are some lyrics to some of the songs we sang last week:
Mixin' pancakes, Stirrin' pancakes, Pop 'em in the pan; Fryin' pancakes, Flippin' pancakes, Catch 'em if you can! H-H-H-Hotdogs! Dee-licious hotdogs! You're the only f-f-f-food that I adore! When you s-s-s-sizzle over the barbeque, You can c-c-c-count me in For a dozen more! Oh, do you know the muffin man, The muffin man, The muffin man Oh, do you know the muffin man, Who lives down Drury Lane? Oh, yes we know the muffin man, The muffin man, The muffin man, Oh, yes we know the muffin man, Who lives down Drury Lane. Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs, Bananas in pyjamas are coming down in pairs, Bananas in pyjamas are chasing teddy bears, 'Cause on (day of the week) they all try to catch them unawares!
