Della was off being crafty again, leaving me a temporary widower – so I had to shift for myself. I made THIS excellent soup. I think it is very nearly the best meal I have ever made, so I will share it with you as the lamb stew (http://www.theultralighthiker.com/steves-lamb-stew/) went down so well! Glad you enjoyed! Again this is not exactly hiking food, but you have to build up your strength when you are off the trail! Coming soon: Steve’s Mulligatawny
