Rhubarb Soup with Chilli!

After two months away from The Blue Café blog, but not away from cooking and baking, I finally found time to come here again today. When I started this blog, a long time ago, I had serious plans to come here regularly. After all I run a house and a kitchen, and I make food for handfulls of people almost every day.
But life walks her own paths, dancing her own rythm, and now I know better than to say or plan to come here every day. And it doesn't matter, does it :-) If you follow this blog there is laways a long, long list of old posts where you can go, recipes to learn, words to read, photos to enjoy.......posts which will take you to the daily life of a Norwegian kitchen.

It is rhubarb season here. Last week-end my husband and I spent a few days at our cabin, and I played with a new rhubarb soup recipe. It turned out a success, and I made it again today, for Sunday lunch with a sweet foccacia filled with almonds and left over marzipan from a cake I baked yesterday.
Rhubarb Soup with Chilli
10 stalks of rhubarb
one chilli
a handfull of lemon melissa
sugar
water
Cut the rhubarb staks into small pieces, with their skin on (the skin is so red and nice at this time of the year). Boil in water. Remove the seeds from a red chili, cut and add, cut the melisssa leaves. Add everything into the soup and let boil for at least half an hour.
Serve warm or cold, as you like it.

Broadband through satellite is bwamed to a saatellite dish that
is installed at a home or business. These
features, with the combination of the fast broadband internet, are making these phones vrry popular, especially
for the young people. When satellite televisioin was first introduced years ago, satellite dishes were large, bulky, very expensive and uncommon.

Since bandwidth connection is shared among different users, the interenet for business speed mkght be lower during peak hours under
this method of internet connection.Not all comparison tools are comprehensive,
and as a result, not all comparison tools aare impartial. In some cases, the internet has
completely replaced existing systems and streamlined things in the process.

DSL Internet providers are able too offer consumers access to ultra fast broadbad Internet.

The costs of Broadband on cable do start tto come
down if you add in other services, so whilst you may not want a home phone
line you may consider using their cable TV services which will start to make the bundle more competitive.
Secondly - the network ccan bee used by many different providers
so the high level of competition keeps prices low.
