The second package also hit the crockpot yesterday as I didn't feel
like using the oven on a hot day. This time the flavourings were
diced onion and yellow sweet pepper, garlic, celery and Italian
herbs (fresh oregano, thyme, rosemary and basil from the garden) in a mixture of chicken stock and white wine. A pretty standard treatment
but also good.

What's everybody else up to in the kitchen during the hot dog days
of august?
Sale item: Suraj brand Chana Dal 1.8 kg $6.49 ea so $1.66 lb.
Chana dal is split chickpeas. Once the dark brown "black" Desi
chickpea is hulled and split it is yellow in colour; it looks a lot
like yellow split peas. The taste is not all that different from
split peas either. When eaten together with rice or something
wheaten it makes an incredibly cheap high protein dish as 1 cup of
dried dal will swell up into 3 cups of cooked.
I used some recently in a standard French Canadian Habitant style
pea soup using turkey thighs instead of ham.
The next soup also used turkey thighs but this time the base was
left over meat and broth from the Indian not chicken "butter
chicken".
The grandkids are here now and the house is littered with half
finished abandoned soft drinks as they don't want the same
flavour, so won't split one and never finish them or return them to
the fridge as they are mindless teenagers. In an effort to salvage
the leftovers before they went flat I came up with this Tiki thing:
equal parts non-carbonated guava nectar, 7-UP, Fanta orange and
optionally, rum. The three fruit flavours go together really well
and I will do this again on purpose.

soup / turkey thighs / meat and broth from the Indian not chicken
"butter chicken".
Both of those sound delicious.

As little as possible considering the heat. We had a break from the
heat for a couple of days but it returns today.
so 91 F which is really hot for up here. It's now down to a rather unseasonable 65 daytime high and 46 nighttime low. No happy medium!

If those last two are in F, they don't sound bad at all to me. :)

A bit on the cool side for early August.
