Anne took some pictures of Will in the combine over his birthday weekend in mid-October. He is a happy boy working in the fields.

In late October we went back to Iowa for another weekend of harvesting, to celebrate Helen’s birthday, and to press cider. This is something we all love doing, and it doesn’t hurt that there are homemade donuts! I was looking through the cider pressing photos this morning and noticed Maggie always had one in her hand. (There was a very hungry and determined dog there that did steal a couple from her, but still.) Here are some photos capturing Maggie’s love of gramma’s homemade donuts:

1 1/2 cups lentils
4 cups water
2 whole dried chilies
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 cup chopped onions
1 tsp ginger
1 T lemon juice
1 tsp garam masala
Rinse lentils well. Put in a pot with the water, chilies, turmeric, and salt. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 30-60 minutes. *If using split lentils you will need less water and a shorter amount of simmer time to cook.
Heat 2 T of oil and saute the cumin seeds, onions, and ginger and cook until tender.
Remove the chilies from the lentils and stir the onion mixture and remaining ingredients into the lentils.
You can add tomatoes or spinach if desired.

2 cups flour
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
Make a well with the flour and add the eggs and egg yolks. Mix together and then pour onto a well floured surface and knead. You can add a few drops of water if needed. Let the dough rest one hour at room temperature before making into noodles.
