Yes, I am doing okay; no, I will not be at BSCF due to Purim; yes, the stuff issue is still problematic; no, I am no longer in a burning rage, just a smoldering one.

Recipe of the day:
- take a handful or two of kamut, soak in cold water overnight
- in the morning, add a handful or two of mung beans, more water as necessary, keep soaking
- drain and rinse
- add a handful or two of barley, water/stock (I used about half water, half chicken broth) at about three times as much as the grain, a number (I used four, could've used much more) of cloves of garlic cut into chunks, a dash of salt, a dash of white wine vinegar
- simmer, covered, for about an hour, adding liquid as necessary until suitably cooked
- kamut'n'mungbean'n'barley porridge, SO much better than it sounds!
- and nice and thick, too. bet I could form it into cakes and fry it in butter tomorrow!

Kamut is crunchy and buttery, kinda like spelt but more so.

Yay for the Whole Foods bulk isle.

Off to Purim!

& Happy Equinox!

What is kamut, exactly? (I like trying out recipes posted on my friends' journals, so.)

Basically wheat as the ancient Egyptians had it. I'm making up another batch tonight, for the potluck at the KTO equinox ritual. Unless it totally doesn't have enough time to soak (it's supposed to go overnight, I'll see if I can compensate with extra cooking time), in which case I'll make, I dunno, soup or something. Maybe the Tiphareth Soup from jessicamelusine.

May I come over and shower and Torchwood at some point though?

You're already here, but if I got to this comment in time, the answer would have been 'absolutely!' ^_^
