Baby arugula just coming up! Can’t wait.
I made this super delicious lentil and potato soup yesterday, loaded with amazing fragrant and healthy spices because I woke up with a little bit of a sore throat. *soup emergency*
I haven’t had a cold since February 2009. I remember because that was the week I quit my real job, the one that paid many times more than this one, and had actual benefits and retirement, sigh. If I’m going to complain I should just go back right? Anyway, now it’s like I can’t break the streak! I can’t get sick because now it’s the principal of it or something. I mean it would be one thing to break the 7 1/2 year cold-free streak with a germ you pick up on an All Expenses Paid 7 Night Luxury Vacation in a Tropical Paradise – bring on the Kleenex!!! But it’s another thing to break the streak with some random germ from the wine aisle at Harris Teeter, know what I mean? Not happening.
So I loaded up my soup with all the things that fight off colds. Finely chopped a large onion, 5 cloves of garlic, a chunk of ginger, a jalepeno and sauteed all that with 1/2 t turmeric, 2 t ground coriander, 1 t smoked paprika, lots of salt and pepper. Cook all those amazing flavors until your socks start to roll up and down. Then I added 2 1/2 c green lentils, water, and let that simmer for 45 minutes. Added about 1 1/2 pounds potatoes diced small, and one sweet potato finely chopped. At the end, stir in juice from half a lemon and adjust seasoning. Top it off with some pickled jalepenos. Shane said so many times that it was so good, finally I was like have you been drinking? Why you freaking out about the soup? No, he just really liked the soup. I guess it was souper, wonk wonk. I had it for brunch and dinner today 🙂
I have sweet potatoes curing for a week now but they’re just barely sweet. Need another week. I made sweet potato pancakes because I had to test out the curing process 🙂
My sister’s horse has to have some cracked molars pulled. Not a small deal. And oooh just about a grand. He’s been having some issues and turns out the molars are split! yikes. Could it have something to do with the way he eats spiny pigweed??
I interrupted nursing (this baby was born in June). So cute.
See you tomorrow!
I am a fan. Love your fun posts & recipes. Hope to get up to your market one day.
Thank you, I hope you do! 🙂
