GREEN CHALLENGE: leftover food week day 3
So, the un-chilled, day old lentil dahl I was so worried about turned out to be very tasty (it's true what they say about some foods gaining flavour after being left to sit for a bit) and most importantly, I lived to tell the tale. I won't be nearly so worried about heating up leftovers in future, especially if they're full of garlic and spices.
Today will be far less of a challenge, since I'm now in the habit of boxing and chilling everything before I bring it into work. Being home alone last night, I cooked up a big pot of organic pasta which of course I couldn't finish. So I've brought it in for a tasty lunch today, with the help of the trusty office microwave. I'm starting to notice how much money I'm saving too, having not had to visit the cashpoint more than once this week to get food. I'm liking this!
Wahee! Well done you. I'm very impressed that you ate the dahl (and of course learned the secret of great tasting spicy food, which is to leave it to marinade for a couple of days).
Congrats on your lunch today and good to see you reaping the financial rewards of your challenge :)
Long before the days of refrigeration spices were used to preserve food.......
