I've thought of it often whilst doing this challenge. These meals look so delicious that I actually said "yum" out loud. Please don't forget that I did have a head start on everyone because it was a personal project started just after Boxing Day before I set it as a Cooking Club project in the New Year. For the first couple of months I was randomly picking recipes and creating menus from it. Now I'm working through the remaining recipes consecutively. (Which can result in the chicken overload!) So glad you're on this project with me. xlucent imageryhttp://www.lucentimagery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-89833178162671135062013-06-02T23:21:56.154+01:002013-06-02T23:21:56.154+01:00SARAH AND DAISY!

It has been a wonderful 17 year journey in so many ways, not just in our home renovation, but in our careers and having moved away from our childhood state of residence in the last 28 years. Life is good, and now my hope is to take a trip this summer to our honeymoon spot: CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA in northern California. I know you would love it. Gracious cliffs and wild blue shores, fairytale cottages and an art community. It is stunning.<br /><br />Wishing you a wonderful new week....pats on the head to Daisy, please!

I often make lentil soup with orange lentils in the winter, and it will be nice to try a different type of lentil soup. I shall definitely give this a go on a cold day. As I walked past the health-food shop this week they had a display of 5 different types of lentil in the window. I was have only used orange,green and Le Puy so I'm glad I now have a recipe to try a new variety.<br />Sarah xDown by the seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06148800326418238027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522710068688445614.post-40922637807383178592013-05-31T14:18:42.678+01:002013-05-31T14:18:42.678+01:00Dear Sarah,
