Lo my lovelies.
Work was crazy all day but the shift flew by. Got soaked n chilled to the bone by 7.30 lol. Been shivering on n off all day since. Just got home n had a hot shower so I should soon warm thru.
Called at mum n dads for tea after work. Salad, slice of homemade quiche Lorraine, hard boiled egg, beetroot. Then naughty but nice pudding. Homemade trifle which was mixed up rather than in the usual layers. Sponge, cherries n white choc custard. Yum.

Morning
A friend has made a batch of aubergine & spinach dahl - she quadruples the spices as she likes it spicy!
Aubergine and Spinach Dahl recipe. 300g red Lentils, 1 Aubergine cut into chunks. 800ml Vegetable stock, 1 tsp each (ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, ground ginger), 300g Spinach roughly chopped, 6 Plum tomatoes chopped, Frylight, 1 onion finely sliced, 3 cloves Garlic crushed, 1 cm fresh ginger grated (I use 3 cubes frozen garlic and 1 cube frozen ginger), 1/4 tsp medium chilli powder, 2 tsp Cumin seeds (Jeera), 1 tsp black mustard seeds, 1/4 tsp Garam Masala, 100g fresh Coriander finely chopped.
Put the lentils in a sieve and rinse under running water for 2-3 minutes, drain and place in a large saucepan, add the dry spices (in the brackets) and the Aubergine and the stock. Bring to the boil, skim to remove any scum then reduce heat to med-low simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally.
Stir in the spinach and tomatoes and cook for a further 6-8 minutes or until lentils are soft, add a little water if the mixture gets too thick.
Place a frying pan sprayed with Frylight over a med-high heat. Add onions, garlic, ginger, chilli powder, cumin seeds and mustard seeds and cook for 3-4 minutes stirring. Add this to the Lentils with the Garam Masala and Chopped Coriander and season to taste. Serves 4 generous portions
I've just cut n pasted it - she puts it in tubs to take to work and warm up in the m/wave
