It turns out I'm not leaving until tomorrow morning. I have to leave early enough to get back in time for my 1pm clinic... so much for starting in on my translation projects first thing Monday, but honestly I'd rather spend more time with my Miaos.
I'll have time to bake Papa Miao a chocolate cake like I promised.
Prince T will help!
This recipe is simple enough even for me to handle.
1 pound lentils, cook & drain (1 lb = 2 1/3 cups dry)
1/4 cup parsley (dry)
3 cloves garlic
3/4 cup lemon juice
1 cup canola oil (or other oil)
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons salt
Cook and drain the lentils. Then mix all the other ingredients together with the lentils and refrigerate.
Mani may now be the portliest Miao. He treats every meal like Thanksgiving Dinner and his nickname, "the Hearty Trencherman", has finally caught up with him. If all the other Miaos turn up their noses at brekkies, Mani will likely be the one to gobble everything up. I have trouble hefting him in one arm, but I can still manage.
