Tender charm.

A couple days ago, when there was still the promise of snow, I decided I'd hole up in my apartment and use my oven to weather out the storm. There wasn't any snow, but I stuck with my original plan anyway.

Today I made spaghetti with oven-roasted tomato sauce and Brussels sprouts, along with a lentil stew. I also baked lemon-ale cakes, Australian beer cake, and because I still had some beer left over from the just-over-a-pint bottle, a variant on this beer bread. The beer bread and the lentil stew were, themselves, not too exciting - but the stew with the bread has definite promise.

I haven't yet finished folding my laundry. Or done the dishes. It's worth the delay in bedtime.

Good on you for all that cooking! I've never found lentils to be particularly exciting, no matter what you do to them, so I'm glad you found at least something to redeem them.
