12th night

It's 12th night, time for the tree to come down, it had started to look a bit sad and droopy. It's still really cold outside again, snow is forecast again! We had a lovely fire and burnt the tree. The house looks really bare without the decorations.

One of our goals for this year is to try to eat less meat. First veggie meal of the year tonight was tarka dhal, with rice and homemade flat bread. Everyone quite liked it, the general consensus was that the flavour was lovely but the texture was a bit sloppy, perhaps I might try different lentils next time.
