Creamy Lentil Stew with Oyster Mushrooms

November 2, 2020 No Comments

Well, we had snow yesterday evening, so the cozy season is officially here. And means we need vats and vats of soups and stews. That’s why I’m gifting you this Creamy Lentil Stew with Oyster Mushrooms. Not only will it defrost toes and warm your cockles or whatever, but it will also teach you everything you need to know about building soups and stews on your own. I think everyone should be capable of making themselves something warm and slurpable. In my book, it’s a crucial life skill. The fact that I’m Canadian may have everything to do with this belief – our winters are no joke. But everybody gets rain, so everybody needs stew – it’s as simple as that.

Fried rice never gets the respect it deserves. Sure, the majority of carb-lovers love it. And no one is sorry to see it on a takeout order. I think fried rice might be one of the most universally loved comfort foods, rivaled only by pizza…at least in North America. But unlike pizza, fancy or artisanal fried rice is hard to come by. Even in the blogging world, fried rice is often billed as a dumping ground for leftovers. A quick, easy meal the kids will eat and the perfect vehicle for the sad scallions you almost forgot about. But fried rice deserves better. It most certainly deserves better from me because it has been a huge part of my life all my life. And this is why I went a little above and beyond for this Honey Garlic Fried Rice.

This is my attempt to give noodles “fall vibes”. These Cumin Pork Noodles with Apple Cucumber Relish have both pork and apples, so in my admittedly strange brain that makes them Oktoberfest-appropriate, which makes them fall appropriate. Phew! It was a long walk to get here, but have I convinced you that these are the fall-friendliest rice noodles to ever grace a table? I doubt it. To be honest, I haven’t convinced myself. But I can tell you regardless of how seasonally-appropriate these noodles may or may not be, they are freakin’ delicious so don’t sleep on them.

So here we are – the last long weekend of the summer. It’s been a bizarre summer, to say the least, but I still managed to sip a few cocktails outdoors, grill to my heart’s content, and swim in a large body of water. Sure, I didn’t see as many friends as I would’ve liked and I didn’t get to visit my family in Nova Scotia. But even with the drawbacks bought to us by COVID, this summer has been pretty ok. But I will confess I am excited for running without oppressive humidity and mugs of mulled wine. There is a lot to love about summer and there’s a lot to love about fall. So instead of mourning the summer that was, I’m going to give it a proper send-off with a platter as exuberant as it was. Say hello to these Everything Bagel Pretzel Dogs.
