Pease puddingish

 I blended the peas, with a new helping of water, after I rinsed off the soaking water, added a dash of salt

And just treated it like a pancake

As you see, it set up to a good batter consistency

And tried one just to see how it worked

Here's a sample on the fork so you can judge the consistency. This is the first, so probably later ones would brown more.

It's bland, because I wanted to do different things with it, and it's better to have a blank canvas for that.  This is also a fast food version of pease pudding, I realized after I tried it. I cooked it so the edges were crisp. I think it would hold up pretty well to stuffing with interesting flavors. Or just folding over the contents.

People who like bacon would like this with it.  I have hot sausage, onions, and mushrooms, so I think they'll work a treat. The hold in your hand lunch.

Not a bad tryout. There's enough batter for several more, and I expect they'll freeze. The YouTube lady insisted this could only be done with nonstick, specifically said it wouldn't work with cast iron. Hm. It did work, but maybe she hasn't dealt with seasoned pans.  I don't have a nonstick pan, so this was my option.

Then the delayed Misfits box arrived, looking fine.

This is the reveal! Where the counter is full of my food for the next two weeks.

Finally got figs, in case there's a need for Newtons, also dates because I like dates and might add them into soda bread because I also like date bread.

Couple of Granny Smiths for roasting with veggies. Cauliflower not sure how, maybe roasting.  Plenty of carrots, complete with greens, I like that. Various potatoes. Roma tomatoes, couple of mangoes. Romaine lettuce. Various apples. Scallions. Vegetable stock.

Now the food's prepped and stored, I can play armchair cook.

But first I read more of the latest Mma Ramotswe mystery.

I was up very early, yet again. Been trying to help a friend get the vax. Today, success! She got an appointment, and it's local. We were texting back and forth at dawn. Score! I'm up to five people helped. It's great. Not finished, if anyone else needs help. Mainly you need to feel you have a team. 

Now I think I'll rest a few minutes.
