IN THE SOUP

Boring blip of my lunch today. I had a prolonged and uncomfortable dental appointment first thing this morning and was told not to chew anything with the extensively and expensively refilled molars for the rest of the day, so I'm taking no chances. Home-made veg soup with lots of black pepper (yum) and a bit of sweet chilli sauce, and I'm just off to the kitchen again to make some red lentil dal, which is one of my all-time comfort dishes. The anaesthetic lasted for about five hours, and my face is still a bit swollen I think, but hopefully I'll be back on full chomping form by tomorrow.
