Happy International Women's Day! I wonder if there is a men's day as well...if not, I think there should be! :-) A friend of mine is organising a fundraising event for Oxfam nearby, so I will go over there at lunchtime with a batch of jam doughnut muffins. I hope it will be really successful as she has put a lot of work into it.
I've started having a good sort out at home. Unbelievable just how much stuff we have :-( It's not all our fault though because we basically inherited a house full of stuff and then had to move the contents of my flat into it. Bursting at the seams comes to mind and I can just see some stuff ending up on Freecycle where you give things away for free. What a great invention that website is - if you haven't come across Freecycle before, why not have a look if there is one in your area?
So, it's busy busy at the moment and food will have to be quick today. I will have one of my favourite things: red lentil stew. Well, this can be a soup or a stew really and you can have it on its own, on top of rice or with roti flatbreads. I use red lentils for this as they don't need soaking beforehand which makes it a lot quicker. I love the warming curry flavours in this and the bits of sweetcorn and I usually top it with a dollop of plain yogurt (although the stew is not overly spicy - I just find it adds an extra dimension to it). I can't wait to tuck in... :-)
Have a wonderful weekend!
