Another stupid project


So... The wardrobe project is on its way. I promise. I'm just snoozing on the picture-taking and composing aaaand... Honestly I haven't gotten as far as I would have wanted. But I have started another project. With the goal of making all my food in order to save money. I'm guessing I'll be sharing more pictures and recipes of this than the clothing projects right now. Mainly because I have limited space for the sewing machine right now and well... The kitchen is right there mocking me! First out in the frugal but healthy food project is a soup. It is made using about 2,5 do corn, 3 dl carrots, 1,5 dl red lentils, one stock cube, 1,5 liters of water, three garlic cloves and some garam masala spice mix. Boil until everything is soft, mix and distribute in lunch boxes. Super simple! And made 5 lunches for me! Please do note however, that I make very small lunch boxes. This is probably four normal portions, for someone who knows that they eat a lot, maybe three. This took all in all, with chopping, cooking and cleaning up, 30 minutes and all five boxes had a total cost of 20 SEK which is about the same amount as 3 USD. It isn't a very pretty dish, but it is very tasty! And cheap! Pretty good if you ask me. :)
