Evil dhaling
Made dhal makhani for the first time in ages - you can't get the lentils you know - and yesss. Very nice indeed; I'd forgotten how gorgeously creamy it was. Doesn't count toward the 52 Recipes though.
Last time I cooked it, there was *one* recipe online, and heaps of stuff about soaking out toxins. Now? dozens of variations, and soak recommendations are minimal. Hmmmm. (Gave it 36 hours and seven water changes to be on the safe side).
Good stuff today: much cooler weather (got the heater on now, would you believe?), minor rain, one or two of the more handfully kids away, might be able to get some leave before Christmas after all.
On the other hand, handfully kids are required for my course homework dammit. Not saying the ones we *do* have aren't 'challenging', but the most egregiously suitable for study is off having 'is tonsils out, and nobody else is pegging chairs at us being anywhere near awful enough to make the assignment worthwhile.
Have once again decided I'm not awfully fond of Little Girls. Especially Girly Girls. Girly Girls are horrid, all pink & fluffy & downright sneaky-snake-mean. *Especially* to their so-called "friends". Give me a good honest Biting Boy any day!
