My brain must be backwards or something because I never seem to want food during the the right season. I want soup during the summer and fresh salads during the winter. Maybe it’s because I crave what I can’t have during that season. But this soup is pretty magical. It’s so smooth, it’s almost like […]

Curried Lentils and Rice
Oh long weekends, how little significance they have to the unemployed. All of my friends are so excited to have that extra day off to do nothing, making the Monday a friend rather than a dreaded day of the week. Some people like to relax and take care of chores and errands that have fallen […]
