#udi's

Made this beautiful bean soup yesterday. The broth is made from simmering fresh oregano, thyme, parsley, bay leaves, onion, celery, carrots, and a Parmesan cheese rind. The cheese rind give the broth a lovely salty and nutty flavor. Carrots, onion, candellini beans, Parmesan cheese, diced tomatoes are added after the broth is ready, and topped with fresh parsley. I found Udi's French baguettes at my grocer. They're not as bad as their regular loaf, and if you cover them in garlic butter and cheese they're even better.

Inside an Udi's Soft-baked Maple Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookie

OK so I said I’d try the bread as a sandwich so here goes, marg spead without causing breakup or holes, cut in half without ripping and held together. Tasted nice and did not go spongy or hard. I’d say all in all a good sandwich. Think I’ll try as a toasted sandwich tomorrow. Sandwich I will give it 4/5, there was something lacking but that could be the filling.

Tesco substituted their own bread for a slightly smaller Udi's white bread in my shopping the other day. I'd never tried it and will confess to loving their bagels, yummy choc chip and the plain I believe is better than the New York Bagel company's, but getting back to bread. I took some bread to work for toast this morning, it smelled and looked delicious and it was wonderful, just the right amount of melt in the butter so the bread didn't go soggy and the crust was edible too. Can't wait to try as a sandwich tomorrow. Toast I will give it 5/5. Wish I'd taken a pic now.

I take a go at the Udi's gluten free white bread. Not sure if this bread is for me.

Toasted Udi’s multi seeded bagels (gluten free) with butter and chocolate chips as well as a bowl of banana slices, greek yoghurt, flaxseed and honey. 

It's a pizza, beer and TV kinda night.
