Yum :) I may have to try and create something like that with my own lentils, as the idea has now got stuck in my head.<br /><br />Your bike crash sounds more traumatic than mine - ouch! You've also dashed my hopes that panniers would be better than a basket.

I am looking forward to lunch! <br /><br />Our bike crash stories sound similar. Mine was me trying to re-arrange my paniere bag after it came loose, while riding. It came off in my hand, I tried to stop quickly, put my feet down while still going too fast, and came off! While a guy stood in his driveway and looked on, only asking if I was okay *after* I untangled, re-chained, and assessed some of my wounds and had started to ride home!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522718077350466894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-543798946611965210.post-33547647919010066762013-02-05T19:55:21.520+00:002013-02-05T19:55:21.520+00:00Quinoa goes in in waves for me too, I'm curren...Quinoa goes in in waves for me too, I'm currently riding the quinoa crest.
