Le Weekend

The Lentil Cakes didn't turn out half bad, the key element is to have some HP Sauce on hand. You can find it in your British foods aisle or just mix some Heinz 57 and A1 together....here's the recipe:

1cup Cooked Lentils
1cup Cooked Cous Cous

1cup Instant Oatmeal

1/2 cup shredded carrots

Enough Olive oil to stick everything together

2 tsp curry powder (I prefer to double the spice amounts)

1 tsp tumeric

1 tsp garham marsala

1 tsp powdered ginger

2 tsp soy sauce (tamari, if you have it)

Salt & Pepper to your liking

Mix the first four ingredients together, add a little olive oil to it, add the rest of the ingredients, add enough olive oil to keep it tight. Take half a handful, roll it in a ball, then squish it down into a patty. Saute them on a hot non-stick skillet and top them with HP Sauce. Parfait!

Also tried to make salsa today and it turned out terribly. As most of you may know, two of my all time favorites are WFM 365 Sesame/Flax Tortilla Chips and WFM 365 Black Bean-n-Corn Salsa. I would sacrifice a lot for those two right now.

Had a nice dinner with some of the South Africans last night. Those guys are a crazy bunch. Sometimes I find it very difficult to understand them and I wonder if they feel the same way about me? There also seems to be an unwritten rule that South African men over 40 must wear very short shorts. These big burly men wouldn't last five minutes walking around my old "gayborhood" in Houston b/c they would be snatched up by a group of "bear-loving" youngsters almost instantly.
