Week 3
This week is a bit feeble, but as the heated props are up and running, I put a lemon seed (lemon drizzle is this week's cake) on some damp paper in a plastic bag to see what might happen!
New things week 3
Following on from last week's pinhead oatmeal, I found cooking up small batches tedious so put a generous amount in the slow cooker and left it to percolate. Turned out fine but if I do it again will reduce cooking time and reduce liquid.
Set up grow light thingy.
Week 3 - Followed a Recipe (almost).
Its time to explore my Hodmedod's so I've started with the thing I have the most of - Split Yellow peas.

Couldn't follow the recipe exactly as I didn't have any fresh ginger (used powdered instead); no dried chillies or garlic. I do have elephant garlic but I forgot it at the time.
Also all my spices were years out of date. Haven't added any spinach yet - there's some on the GH and chard - must pick some before this evening's meal.
I burnt the cumin seeds -they're black - and a litre of water for the peas was way too much!! I knew there was a reason why I don't try to cook from a recipe.
I used the strained pea water, to make pea soup for lunch with some leftover mashed potato from last night.
That looks nice. I’ve bookmarked that. I’ve got chickpeas , not split though. I’ll have to wait until my spinach grows.
Week 3
I cleaned the filter on my Hoover. That doesn’t happen often
^^^^ I don't either, come to think of it, I don't use my Hoover often
^^^^ That could be your Challenge for this week JJB
PS What's a Hoover????
