Curry for Breakfast Recipes and News: Recipes from Jan of "Jan's Kitchen"

Stone Soup is an old folk story in which hungry strangers persuade local people of a town to give them food. It is usually told as a lesson in cooperation, especially amid scarcity.
Some travellers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry traveller’s. Then the travellers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.

Beware Gas Inspection "scam" >>: People in the Costa del Sol should be aware that independent operators who may be confused as representatives of REPSOL are cold calling house owners, telling them they are carrying out inspections in the area to see if gas installations comply with recent changes in regulations and pressuring them into changing gas fitment on the spot, often for sizeable sums of money particulary for older members of the community on fixed incomes. Repsol say they will never attend without a prior appointment and do not carry out inspections that have not been requested by the householder.
