Dinner tonight - or last night.

Tofu, baby spinach & zucchini in a Thai yellow curry sauce. On steamed Basmatic rice.
Rather nice.
Also quick & easy to prepare!

I got a bit carried away tonight & made a huge pot of an old favourite (Anna Thomas) soup tonight. (The recipe was supposedly for around 16 serves, but I reckon it's actually closer to 30!) But it was raining & a bit chilly, so a substantial soup seemed an excellent idea: heaps of lentils, onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, silverbeet (chard), chopped coriander. Then, at the very end, two big tablespoons of roasted, then ground, cumin & the juice of a whole lemon. Very nice, but I think I'll have to make a few donations to friends! The pot (biggest one in the house) was so full of soup I felt like a witch stirring her cauldron. Now I'm exhausted! Laughing

since this is our annual "special" day Laughing

- we stopped counting last year Very Happy

, we treated ourselves to lunch at one of our favourite restaurents in town .
the "rivermill" restaurant is located in a former woolen mill right by the rideau canal with a wonderful view over the river .
both food and service are always outstanding and the prices very reasonable .
mrs h ordered veal liver - her usual - and i had some smoked beef-brisket with the trimmings - even included some nice sauerkraut side ; we shared a large ceasar and had several cups of tea .
we passed on the dessert - we'll make up for it around 5 o'clock with homemada cheesecake and some chocolate-truffel torte .
felt like "croesus" BEFORE he went on the pyre Shocked

ps. "living like croesus" or "living like god in france" are favourite german expressions to describe the "good life" Laughing
