\"007\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yesterday I had day one of a Yard sale.<\/p>\n

Why do I do these things?  I\u2019m leaving for a week tomorrow- I really don\u2019t need<\/p>\n

the hassle of doing this right before!  But I promised to get rid of some of this<\/p>\n

STUFF that has accumulated in my basement and around the house- and Cynthia<\/p>\n

is trying to get rid of some of her stuff- and Jordan wanted to get rid of- well- you<\/p>\n

can see how it goes\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And this is how it went- SLOWLY- very S L O W L Y!<\/p>\n

But- I had seen this recipe<\/a> over at Zeb Bakes- and I<\/p>\n

wanted it for lunch.  OK- I changed it a little<\/strike> a lot<\/p>\n

and ended up with something quite different- but it<\/p>\n

was so good I thought I\u2019d share with you!<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

2 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight, and then cooked<\/p>\n

for about 90 minutes until tender and toothsome.<\/p>\n

1 onion, diced<\/p>\n

3-4 slices thick meaty bacon<\/p>\n

2 big handfuls of spinach<\/p>\n

1 lb of small courgettes<\/p>\n

lemon oil or juice from 1 lemon<\/p>\n

salt and pepper, to taste<\/p>\n

curry sauce<\/p>\n

Method:<\/p>\n

Chop up the bacon and fry it up in a shallow pan.<\/p>\n

Add onions and sautee until soft.<\/p>\n

\"002\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used a little green onion (scallions) for color..<\/p>\n

Then add courgettes (zuchinni)\"003\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

and cover pan to let them cook- about 10 minutes<\/p>\n

\"006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Add chickpeas,lemon oil ( about  TBS) or lemon juice, and stir in salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Taste, and then add spinach and cover to let the spinach cook down.<\/p>\n

\"005\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"007\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Serve with a drizzle of curry sauce ( I used a prepared sauce- Cynthia was out<\/p>\n

watching over the yard sale and I wanted to get back to doing my share).<\/p>\n

This was so very good- and filling- that it almost made up for having to sit <\/p>\n

outside on a beautiful summer day and watch the cars drive by.<\/p>\n

The sale continues today- I sure hope we sell a little bit more of this STUFF!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
