Monday 's meatless meal was not what I had planned. I'm a bit late with it because a) I'm really busy (and goalposts keep shifting), b) I focused on my HivePUD delegations on Monday.
The meal was intended to have been my famous lentil and butternut salad. It included some of the same ingredients, but instead of being (in) north Africa(n), I moved continents and did my version of a Southern American style jambalaya.
Oh, and as I was doing so, I was thinking of 
I enjoy the combination of French herbs (I use a local version of the tradtional Herbes de Provence) and chilli.
Combined with come fresh, sweet peppers and fresh marjoram, this is a completely different meal.
Oh, and the other reason for doing this particular cooking method is because I simply did not have the energy to stand and stir, and watch. So, into the wok, lentils, roasted butternut and broccoli - with the par cooked rice - the lid went on and watched the President tell the nation that the State of Disaster was being lifted.
And yes, the next evening we had a douple celebration.
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
