re kidney beans- you don’t need to soak them in 10% solution, just soak them overnight in COLD water (I do that whenever I cook any sort of beans- 2-3 times every week- and they never split)…of course, rinse them well and change the water before cooking- this applies to every type of beans, peas and lentils except adzuki beans, black beans (the brine is full of minerals in these) … and, naturally, red lentils don’t need to be soaked overnight

The original recipe used aniseed – so really, use whatever spice takes your fancy! Cardamom just brings that Indian lassi kind of flavour. Let me know how you get on!

Marathon cookies absolutely rock for long backpacking trips where you’re hauling big backpacks up and down mountains. I’m going to have to learn how to make these!

[…] One such food blog is Sprouted Kitchen, for Sara’s clean, whole-food approach to cooking. I’m stoked to receive a lot of positive feedback for some of the more (deceptively) healthy desserts, those with a little more nutritional value (and a little less of the refined stuff) than the usual, say, Chocolate Banana Brownie or Marathon Cookies.

And BEARATHON V is coming up in June Christina – red shirts this year! And there will be the usual hotdogs and burgers for the post-run bbq. With beer. Of course… I think I’m going to have to run it this year – I’ve organized it for 4 years, but haven’t ran it yet. Don’t think I’ll keep up with those speedy young North-Wright guys (and girls!) though. I’m old and slow… Great that you enjoyed it last year though – it’s why we do it! Such a great town turn out too – that’s what’s really satisfying
