Well after speaking with Tortstork this morning it looks like my egg still has some development to go so it won't be this week.

Next thing you know, you'll have a Christmas baby!

View attachment 258753

Today's recipe is a hearty soup that will warm you up on the inside with the help of a little bit of pepper! Enjoy this soup on a cold winter's day with family and friends.

Lablabi Chickpea Soup

Serves about 8

1 1/2 cups chickpeas, washed, then soaked overnight in 10 cups water, mixed with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 hot pepper, finely chopped
4 tablespoons. finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
croutons

Place the chickpeas with their water in a saucepan, then bring to boil. Cover, then cook over medium heat for 1 hour or until chickpeas are soft and tender. Add remaining ingredients, except croutons, then cook over medium heat for further 10 minutes. You can use an immersion blender to make it more of a creamy texture, or serve it as more of a chunky soup. Be sure to give the soup a good stir before serving.

Serve in individual bowls with each person adding croutons to taste.

Wow, that’s well built machine!

They don't make them like they used to!

 

[Pastel Tortie]

The newer microwaves are safer than the first ones that came out.
I would really think about investing in a new one.

Usually Mother Nature takes care of that... at least in Florida. Thunderstorms, lightening, power outages, generator glitches...

I had to fuss at somebody this evening. I found a fur ball in the bearded dragon tank. Apparently Miss Pixie decided she wanted to visit. Fortunately, the bearded dragon did not seem terribly disturbed by her checking out the inside of his tank... with him in it.

Pixie loves to hang out on top of the bearded dragon tank. He doesn't seem to mind when she's up there.
However, tonight is the first time she's ever gotten into the tank.

Don't let my sister near your microwaves! She goes through one at least once a year, she keeps forgetting forks and spoons in them[emoji33]

She is a really good girl. She has Crohn's like I do and we met on a support website for Crohn's and UC. We have been dating for about a month and so far everything seems to be going well. I'm hoping things continue going well because I really like this girl. Her name is Sarah by the way LOL.
