It is cold here!!!!! So, I made a really good soup yesterday for supper. I found a recipe here and tried it out. I didn't have coconut milk so I made some (really easy btw, pour boiling water over dry coconut, blend and strain). I also didn't have Garam Masala, so I made some (recipe here). Veg broth isn't something I usually have in the house either. I used chicken (homemade) and you can't tell. I am not a vegetarian :) so I didn't think it would matter. I also used lentils as I don't normally have split peas on hand. Quite often I have found that Dahl is made with lentils. It warmed things up nicely here. W wasn't home so I felt safe trying a new recipe. I might try it again when he is sometime. I also shoveled a lot of snow yesterday. Someone is supposed to be coming this afternoon to look at my wood cookstove. I have it for sale again as it won't fit in the kitchen when the new cupboards go in. I did like it for the most part. It just had to be fed every 30 min or so, the firebox was too small. I baked in it several times, bread, cookies, cooked on it multiple times. Sometime when I have a kitchen large enough I want another one. :)
Have a good, cold day all. :)
