Thursday Foodblog day - lentils and lemons
So, got the camera connected and uploaded some pics.
As previously stated we're not eating "meat" right now and here's a dinner from last week. Red Lentil "Bolognaise"
Also, I made lemon honey aka lemon curd in the slow cooker. I used the same ingredients as in Edmond's but I used the method outlined in the Joan Bishop Slowcooker book.
One jar is for Evie, one is for Bean and the mini-jar and one other is for me. I have it for breakfast stirred into my yogurt. Mmm :) I'll be making some more when I run out again if you want to bags a jar? I'm so happy with myself this time as I did my jar sterilising all properly and the lids popped down and everything! I'll be making some lemon cordial in the next week of so if you want in on that too. Margie and Bean have already bagsied a bottle each, but I probably have another one going.
I love my lemon stuff because I have delightful friends with lemon trees so the largest cost item is free. Yay! I'm looking forward to feijoa season. Want to try making chutney, jam/jelly and bottled feijoas!
Also, I am finally growing my own food. So far I have on likely looking tomato. If you look hard you might spot it.

Mmmmmmmmm, lemon curd. Looks fantastic.
I really miss feijoas. We used to have feijoa trees in the back yard, so we ate lots of them.
Good to have you back online!

Posted by: Debbie at March 12, 2009 09:57 PMWell, 3 comments is 3 comments and I'm not going to quibble about how I got them ;). I have to say that I feel that lemons and feijoas (and plums, but I currently have no source) are fruits that kiwis shouldn't have to buy. You should just get some from friend's and family, because if you know someone with a productive tree, they always have more than they can use in a season.
Sometimes I eat ripe feijoas until my belly hurts, and it is awesome.
When you next coming back to NZ? I'll make some lemon curd for you then ;)
Posted by: giffy at March 12, 2009 10:06 PMYum, lemon curd!! I love lemon curd - can I bagsie a jar for when I return?
xx
That lemon curd I ate with the scones at Waitarere was super delish! What's its shelf life like?
Posted by: Sass at March 13, 2009 09:33 AMTia: Yup you can totally bagsie a jar :) Now i have a regular internet source I can catch up with email and you should be getting one soon about the Camino <3
Sass: Recipe says 4 weeks, but I managed to get the jars properly sterilised and sealed this time so shelf life should be longer. I'd still try and get it gone within 6 weeks (kept in fridge from opening). I try to use little jars so that isn't normally an issue.

Posted by: Zephfi at March 14, 2009 11:30 AMI have a couple more jars if you want them. They are the bigger of the two sizes I gave you last time.
Posted by: Sam at March 15, 2009 01:11 PMSam: thanks, they're a great size. The one on the far left is one of those in fact. :) I'm thinking I'll visit you on Friday on my way down to Wellington?

I won't be back this year, and probably not next year, if we end up going to Greece, but I am thinking about a NZ/Oz trip in early '11. (I am planning for 2011, how scary is that?!)
Posted by: Debbie at March 16, 2009 10:02 PMHi. It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right - especially when one is right. Help me! Looking for sites on: Effexor withdrawal joint pain. I found only this - switch effexor to pristiq. Effexor, tell methadone control at the acid after variety as pharmacy meds see the doing of the presciption, it is more persistent to give the number. Effexor, how therefore taking out great contented studies that's depression is a plant carbonate. With respect :mad:, Tiaret from Islands.
