I am no longer really surprised at how quickly the weeks pass by. Rather I am surprised that Christmas is only a few weeks away. At least now the weather is a bit more Christmassy now.
This is what it looks like outside right now.
We are having some lovely ice depositing fog, which makes me even more happy to stay home and work around the house. While I did spend money today I did not leave the house. Bill paying happened and it was all done online. No running around the city to the various places (well it would only be two places but one is on this side of the city and one on the other side of the city). No having to face the crazy drivers who seem to forget what driving is when it is icy and there is snow on the road. Really scary here the first part of winter.
Maebeme asked me if I had any lentil recipes, so here goes. All of these are online and are relatively easy to make. This is also one way we are beating rising costs. Lentils are a great source of protein and much less expensive than meat at this point in time.
Lentil Curry is one of our favs. Mediterranean Red Lentil Soup is another. I have also added a few lentils (like perhaps a handful) to Spaghetti Meat Sauce to stretch that out. I made a Brown Lentil Soup that was very good as well. Those are the best ones I have used so far. I did make a baked lentil meal, but that did not go over very well so never made it again. I also made falafels once and they used chickpeas and lentils. Not our favourite meal at all.
I know people who make taco's with lentils and really like them so that will be the next recipe I try.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
