It's Friday!

Here's a link to the sweetcorn and chick pea burgers. Well worth the effort!

http://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/chickpea-and-sweetcorn-burgers-with-smoky-tomato-sauce.html

We had a dahl last night, but it didn't really thicken up enough, so it was more of a soup! I served it with Indian courgette and green pepper, because yesterday I decided that all of my food was orange, so I needed to introduce some green!!
Tonight I am tempted to try Jack Monroe's gram flour pizza bases from her blog on my side bar. I might then make a home made coleslaw to accompany the pizzas. As yet, I am still undecided, but it's a plan ........



I started up a bit of knitting again yesterday - the weather was foul! The poor chickens were drenched and so they are very happy to see the sun again this morning! I'm not a natural knitter, apart from a tiny bit a few months ago where I taught myself the basic stitch and how to cast on and off, I haven't knitted anything since I was about 11! I really liked this yarn, which was half price, so I'm going to knit as long a length as possible and then I can make a collar scarf out of it if it's long enough. When I see some of you knitting your own socks, I am totally in awe. I can't imagine me ever getting that far, although the thought of a knitted throw for my settee does appeal ..... Knitting for me is a bit like me on a bicycle - fine whilst going in a straight line, but as soon as I attempt to turn a corner, I am very likely to fall off. (Terrible balance!)

Off to see Mum early in the morning tomorrow and not back until Wednesday so may not have time to blog. Have a wonderful weekend everyone - let's hope the weather is kind :)

    I couldn't knit to save my life, but I can crochet......strange that. I like your yarn. I must have a go at those burgers, or Jack's carrot, cumin & kidney bean ones.....I've been saying that for ages without actually getting round to doing it! Have a lovely time at your Mum's.

      I haven't mastered the art of crotchet yet, but then again I haven't mastered knitting yet either!! I have made Javk's burgers too - very nice :) x

    I made the burgers last night and they were delicious, I made a batch of coleslaw to have with them. I will now "play" with the recipe and change the beans for whatever I have in the cupboard. Butter Beans are on offer in Lidl so they will feature here and there. I must check the Gram flour recipe out.

      I often use butter beans in these recipes - they work really well with all sorts of flavours and mash down well. :)

    Those burgers sound good, I will pop over and check out the recipe :) Your comparison of knitting with riding a bike made me laugh, yes it is a bit like that. I knit very s... l... o... w... l....y so it takes forever to knit something, I usually run out of patience so I have half finished knitting projects all over the house!

      I suspect I might end up with a house full of knitted dolls house blankets!!

    Those burgers sound delicious. I'm currently joining in with Winwick Mum's sockalong. It's really good. I'm slowly winning the battle with the DPN's. It's addictive. I've never knitted socks before. X
