What did you cook or eat today (March 2021)

[flyinglentris]

Yes! And since lentils contain iron, I think it could be perfect to enhance strength during a move

I am a huge fan of lentils and they also help my iron intake since I am anaemic.

Red meats and beans should be your friends.

Ah dear thank you However, as most members here know I am not a very good pastry chef. So these were bought at the bakery.

I make almost all my food myself, but not the fiddly type of patisserie bakes.

I saw this in the discount section at the supermarket: $14 marked down to $3. I didn’t read the whole label...I just thought I was getting this amazing honey for a great price.

I tried some, and tasted honey...and a soapy aftertaste. What the heck? THEN I read the label. It’s a fancy hair conditioner, not a dessert topping.

I threw it out. I don’t care how amazing my hair would look if I used it the way it was intended.

And, get this: that story is from a few months ago, but the picture is from today. That’s right: I saw it again at the supermarket today, forgot what happened last time, and I bought it again.

If I see it again, forget again, and buy it again, I’m just going to have to try it on my hair. Maybe the universe is trying to tell me something?

Don't throw that out, honey might be the next ingredient for the challenge...or hair conditioner. Either way, you're covered!

Your afternoon tea looks beautiful. What is FROG jam?

Jam made of Fig, Raspberry, Orange, and Ginger. It's very Christmassy.

Oh so that is why they look shop ready! No worries, it only shows I cannot differentiate between store bought and home made. Understandably, if they are as good as they look, why not buy them and relax the time needed to make those...

Yep

traditional german dish, noodle filled with sauerkraut cooked in broth. That's the way I learned it from my mother.

Stay healthy

I had a rather ripe leftover banana and an apple, so I mashed them up, added some flour, 1 egg, a pinch of dry yeast, sugar (a little) and grated lemon peel and made these frittelle. They are very fluffy!
