Sprouts

I've read so many times about how great sprouting seeds inside is. It is often mentioned in gardening type books and I've read about it on people's blogs. I always read how healthy and easy and inexpensive and fun it is. But when I've tried to do it in the past I've always quickly become overwhelmed with what I should buy from where and thinking it's getting a bit expensive with shipping. But this time I went straight to Mumm's Sprouts and it was easy. All laid out so I knew what I wanted to buy, pretty cheap I'd say, and free shipping.


So I've been sprouting. It is fun and easy and I like the taste added to lots of things.

With hummus (along with peri peri drizzle hot sauce):
On top of lentil curry (along with crispy fried onions):

Mushroom Harvest

Our mushrooms are ready already! It's been less than 2 weeks since we got them! They only took a few days to sprout and then they went pretty quickly. Except I bought a dehumidifier to run in the basement yesterday and they are not too happy about that, have started being a bit dry around the edges. The laundry room really smells like mushrooms, not in a good way.


Today we had them in a pasta with a basil and sun dried tomato pesto sause. We used sun dried tomatoes and basil from the garden. It was good, the oyster mushrooms had a lot of flavour. And yesterday we had a mushroom gravy that was also good. So far we've harvested one bunch, there are 2 more to go. And then they're supposed to grow at least 2 more times.
