Munchies
Thought I would start a thread that can be used to chat or talk about food issues, hates or loves. I do comfort eat but also I know its the great human connecting ground, because we all do need to eat, no matter what.
I wondered if some on the forum might relate to this more than the beergarden or the night shift. Hi @Former-Member I was thinking of you but anyone else who is interested may just pop in.
Just had a mandarin, its sweet but lighter flavour than an orange is sometimes just what i need.
Feel free to chat, though.
Cheers
Apple

Re: Munchies
Great idea for a thread @Appleblossom! I comfort eat sometimes too (especially in the cold weather!!).
I just had a mint slice with a cup of tea and it was heavenly I don't think there's anything better than snuggling up with a blanket on a cold night with a lovely cuppa and a biccie

Re: Munchies
When my students parents would complain about the weather getting cold .. I could also see the bright side ... soups, roasts and cosiness .. having been homeless when I was 6 and then at 16 .. I never take being "inside" for granted.

Re: Munchies
@comet expressed interest in easy recipes and I just learned one I like a lot at the basic cooking class I went to recently. This thread seemed to be the best place to put it:
Indian Red Lentil Dahl Soup
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dried coriander leaves
1 teaspoon salt flakes
180g dried red lentils
1 litre vegetable stock
400g can diced tomatoes
2 cups water
fresh coriander
natural yoghurt
Method
- Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add curry powder, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander leaves and salt flakes to pot. Saute for 5 minutes.
- Add red lentils, vegetable stock, water and diced tomatoes. Cover and cook for 20 minutes. (Soup is meant to be thick but just add more stock or water if it becomes too thick).
- Garnish with coriander and natural yoghurt.
Optional extras
- 1 brown onion finely chopped can be added at step 1.
- 1/4 cup of washed pearl barley can be added at step 2.
Leftovers can be stored in fridge or freezer, reheated and served in different ways over time, such as with rice and/or vegetables.

Re: Munchies
Hi @Angels333
I've had a stressful week with work and was quite dark in my mood on Friday night.
And today I saw my mother in law in care since Mothers day - she is so bad, she is hearing voices that people are calling her horrible names. i left so sad and upset.
How are you @Angels333?
