Spiced Lamb, Chicpea
and Risoni Soup:

I’ve been horribly busy for the last 2 weeks so I have not had a chance to cook anything decent or post anything remotely worthy. Finally, yesterday I got a chance to cook a delicious soup — living on Woolies microwave meals, takeout, coke, popcorn and nougat was really starting to get to me and my waistline (I say this while I pop the last bite of a seriously large pecan and cashew nut nougat into my mouth).

On that note, having lived on a lot of junk for 2 weeks my brain, how should we put this, has become slow?, incompetent?, ineffectual?, inefficient?, mush? Call it what you will, I’m tired and so is my brain. So this is my post. The soup is great; the post is not.

Gosh that looks so delish! Hope it helped ‘feed’ your brain to continue forward…or just have another piece of nougat!

Thanks Sharon, my brain is on the road to recovery: no nougat for at least 2 days

Thanks Zabwan, I simply adore chicpeas too — I even love them with just a little olive oil and salt.
