GangaToday has been quite warm. Usually at these temps it is hot enough to have the air cooling on but in Autumn the heat is gentler than the directly overhead sun that often comes with hot breezes.
I had a dentist appointment this morning, nearer to the city, and such a busy afternoon! As well as some gardening, I managed to top and tail lots of beans and get a good sized jar of a Dilly Beans ferment going. The left-over beans were blanched and ice-bathed, then into the freezer. There is enough for 3 or 4 meals ✅
Also made "Dal Makhani". This recipe is not a real Dal Makhani - there is so much incorrect labelling of anything that involves urad and cream, or kidney beans and cream. There are a myriad of dishes closely related to DM but not DM.
Anyway I made this one, sans the cream, in the InstantPot and it is Delicious! It's intended for the freezer, and I'll give it a couple of hours of slow cooker treatment before using some time in the future. Urad always benefits from some slow cooking.
{I had soaked the whole urad for 24 hours and they were just beginning to sprout. Perfect.}
Some housework too. Some work work. Some waiting for a tradie who I found out is coming tomorrow NOT today. I got my dates mixed up.
