Mmm, leguminous.
Jun. 19th, 2007 10:03 amI have curried pea soup for breakfast. Yay! I like legumey porridges for breakfast. My usual default is a mild dhal, or kitcheree (as per Charmaine: 50% lentils, 50% rice). It's easy, because it just involves a cup of dried legumes and two cups of water, maybe some spices (I often just use cardomom), then you shove it on the stove and go check your library's catalogue online (or whatever).
I just don't like normal porridge at all. I think this might all tie in to the savoury vs sweet breakfast preferences, though I do like pancakes for breakfast. Perhaps that does not count. Do we not ALL like pancakes for breakfast? Especially with blueberry–maple syrup, or a berry compote. Mmm, berries.
I have been given an enforced day off. I'm only supposed to work four days a week, but I've been working five to finish off these books I've been working on, and Mark told me not to come in today because the new project won't be done. Eh. I wanted to spend one day this week in the State Library, continuing the reading I began on Sunday (Greek religion: archaic and classical, Walter Burkert, translated by John Raffan). I kinda wish the State Library was a borrowing library, and not just a reference library, but on the other hand, it would mean that the collection wouldn't be nearly as awesome. I hope today I get one of their comfy armchairs, or failing that, a chair at all. I didn't account for how popular the library would be on Sunday, and ended up sitting on the ground in the magazine section, with my back to the wall. That sucked.
