Fry an onion, garlic, 2 large chopped tomatoes, 2 tbsp tom paste and 1 tbsp of cumin. Add a cup of lentils (soaked overnight and drained) and 3 cups of water. Bring to the boil then simmer til lentils are cooked. I usually have to add quite a bit of water as it can take 45 minutes for the lentils to soften. I serve this with rice, risoni, chunky bread or some greens. It's a family favourite :). Oh and it needs salt and pepper too.

The year before I read Truth and Beauty: A Friendship by Ann Patchett on Thanksgiving. Holidays are the only days I can get through an entire book. Wild is also one of my favorite novels ever, and I saw it at the top of this blogger's list and decided I should probably read the rest on her list: http://www.kbaer.com/books/<br /><br />Roseannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598463706395528954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-87966660073523663532014-05-01T09:24:54.306+10:002014-05-01T09:24:54.306+10:00Gorgeous taking stock!

And I have knitted socks in the round and have a link to the pattern here: http://bearlovesdove.com/2012/09/28/socks-a-blankie-and-some-pondering/ ... they were not saggybaggy to start off with, they were nice and shaped, but after wearing for a while did stretch a bit... tho that could be my knitting (it was my first go at knitting in the round).

I am almost to the end of the first week and I can see life starting to knock it's way back in. <br />I think I can help you with the sock pattern. I just found a book of socks and gloves at the op shop and am soon to try my first pair for size. Just finishing off a spring vest (I know, ready for the coming spring).

April has been: mainly dry (thank you to whoever!) School holidays, still cold, a fair bit of rain here in old Blighty, but the colours! The spring colurs are super vibrant! I read "the shock of the fall" by Nathan filer, the best book I've read for donks. The best since "the book thief". April was cool.

So if we post pictures of our motifs to facebook and include #motifdaymay on them, then if you click on the hashtag it will bring you to a whole page of everyones posts about #motifdaymay. :)Comberspudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622541878228469681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-11679595732963345502014-04-30T19:17:29.333+10:002014-04-30T19:17:29.333+10:00I didn't know they were called tiffin tins!!! ...I didn't know they were called tiffin tins!!!
