Kale-Coconut Dal
Summer is here (I bet you knew that already!) and the days are long, hot, humid. There is an icky-sticky-gluey feeling all about. No, it isn’t a physical sensation alone – ahh, well, whatever.
I haven’t cooked in ages, and it’s highly likely that that lack of cooking activity is contributing to the icky-sticky feeling. I have relinquished all control of the kitchen to P’s mother (she and dad-in-law are visiting until November). While it is great to not have to worry about waking up at an unearthly hour + watching the pressure cooker + doing yoga + chopping veggies, all at once… I miss cooking. As much as I curse (well, complain) about the bland flavors in our home (ly) dishes, there is a certain degree of comfort in cooking what I choose. Well, now I have NOT a thing to do in the kitchen these days. Menu, prep, seasoning… it is all run by Mom.
Maybe I will rebel a little tonight and cook a li’l something for myself!
