Today

It's hot...and I'm tired, so no walk this afternoon.  You get a blog post instead :)

I walked this morning, and stopped at the supermarket on my way home to pick up a few things.

Then Gwen called in for a coffee and to relieve me of my one remaining fish in the fish pond. ( I think the birds killed the other one.)  So now I have emptied it out and will clean and refill.  I would like to keep it as a water feature (and bird bath), but didn't want the fish...

Worked in the garden for awhile.  Picking beans...

Pruning and weeding and enjoying a little patch of purple...

Made a lentil loaf...

 it tastes better than it looks :)

Here's the recipe...

 

 

As usual...I improvised/altered...

 

Cooked my own lentils

Didn't have Granola( I'm assuming that it's like muesli) so used rolled oats

Didn't have enough peanut butter so used 1 tablespoon of tahini plus 1 of peanut butter

Used my tomato relish

Added some fresh herbs, and spices

A grated carrot

And an egg

(I didn't whizz it...just chopped and mixed)

Didn't steam it, but put in a loaf pan and cooked in moderate oven (with foil over top) for about 1/2 an hour, then removed the foil for 5 minutes (or so) to brown top.

 

Tastes pretty good!
