cap, computer and something more

friday night...we were driving home and the moon was just gorgeous...big and red...we stopped the car and i tried to take a picture of the moon...but i did not succeed...without the tripod it is almost impossible...we took off and drove home.

when we arrived i noticed my cap is missing...i realized i must have dropped it while taking the photo of the moon :(

to make things worse, my computer started to give me a headache. it wouldn't turn on properly. i have checked it and saw that the graphic driver is broken. i reinstalled it...everything seemed to be OK, but it was not...on saturday morning i decided it's time to clean the computer and reinstall everything - both operating systems...i saved my docs on an external hard drive and started the installation process...


nothing was working as expected...i could not install windows at all. unfortunately there were no problems with linux...linux never fails :). i was happy that the computer is working again. when copying my folders back to the computer i got few errors. that was not a good sign...some of my documents got damaged...i lost many of my pictures :( my treasure...the good thing is that i still have many...it could have been a loooooot worse ;)

while trying to bring my computer back to life, i baked few phyllo dough appetizers...here is the recipe :)

1 cup of lentils
2 sausages
vegetables
shredded cheese
1 package of phyllo dough
1 table spoon of butter
barbecue sauce
chili powder
kurkuma
caraway seed
salt
egg

i got the inspiration for the lentils from this recipe (paratha with lentils). when prepared like this, the lentils are simply delicious. i poured water over the lentils and let is sit for about an hour. after that, i rinsed them and cooked in water until they were soft.





in a small pan i melted the butter and put in the spices (caraway seed, chili and kurkuma).





i added the cooked lentils a pinch of salt and cooked until the mixture got dry. i let it cool down in a bowl.






meanwhile i cut the sausages...





fried them in a pan and added the barbecue sauce (i used sauce with chipotle).



i cut the dough in squares...








...took two sheets and put them in the muffin tin.




Then i spooned in some lentils and sausages...






and sprinkled with shredded cheese... (i also filled some with frozen veggies and sprinkled with cheese).





I closed the dough with the help of the egg...





and baked them in the preheated oven (170  degrees centigrades) for about 30 minutes.




They turned out delicious :) I also made a poppy seed dessert :)

today when we were driving back to the place we work i had a crazy idea to go back to the place where i lost my cap...i thought...maybe no one saw and took it...maybe it is still there...and believe or not...IT WAS THERE...after two days lying close to the road...nobody took it :) i was happy as a small child :)

good night world :)
