Dinner, again

I don’t think my photography’s getting any better, but here’s another dinner: haloumi and lentil salad. Yum!

I will try to post up some thoughts on what I’m writing about (and what’s got me thinking even more closely about what I’m eating), once I’ve sorted them out in my own head. At this point I’m doing a lot of reading, watching and cooking.

For some vague idea of what I’m working on, have a look at this TED video. I have been on TED all day. All. Day. I’m obsessed. This can’t be good.

Dinner

Tomato, lentil and vegetable soup seemed like the perfect dinner on a rainy Saturday night. I made this from a recipe out of my favourite cook book, and added a few things here and there. I love it when I modify a recipe and it works!

The only way this could have been better was with some home-made bread. One of my favourite bloggers, Claire, tentatively tried this recipe and had great results, so I’ve been inspired to give it a go myself tonight…

I’ll probably be writing a whole lot more about my cooking adventures on here for the next little while, because I’m researching a food essay I’m writing. If anyone’s interested, I can start posting up recipes for these things I’m making.

Oh! And we’ve got the Monday Project up and running again. Check out the latest theme here. Which reminds me, I really should send out the email that’s supposed to accompany new themes…

(PS. I have no idea why I included the peeler in that shot. It’s not like it was all that important in cooking this… let’s hope my food-photography improves.)
