After yesterday's really lovely day I feel energized today (rare for a sat am, usually I sleep in and feel groggy and need the day off to recover from the week). Already got on top of a few long delayed chores including washing some woollen things sitting around for months. I have nowhere to dry clothes outdoors and no direct light indoors, hopefully they'll dry well enough...
Gonna try doing my last big cook up for a while - making dal makhani for the first time later today (with butter but no cream - cashew cream instead), use up those Jerusalem artichokes, and do a nice green side dish, maybe stir fried greens. Hmm maybe the Viet groceries on Vic st have something interesting. Craving amaranth...
Pretty interested in the cashew cream dal update.
Will let you know how it goes. Dal makhani is a bit different to most dals I've made as it's entirely whole pulses not split. Everything's still got a couple more hours to soak.
