Tortellini also sounds wonderful - would make a terrific vegetarian option without the sausage too I think?<br /><br />Cheers, JulieJuliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-45614815484038487362009-07-21T10:01:35.969+10:002009-07-21T10:01:35.969+10:00Hi E,<br />I don&#39;t use it as much as I&#39;d like to actually, as I worry a little that the kids will knock it and smash the mirror! I&#39;m going to have to sort out a permanent, out-of-the-way spot for it.<br /><br />Hi Zie,<br />Thanks for the tip! Must find a copy to read now LOL.<br /><br />Hi Michelle,<br />Sorry to take so long to get back to you... It doesn&#39;t really matter which lentils you use, but if you use brown lentils, they will still be nice, robust and lentilly-looking in the finished casserole. Red lentils will go mushy but will thicken the sauce and make it equally delish - I use whatever I grab out of the cupboard first! Tinned lentils are fine too, just don&#39;t cook them for as long.<br /><br />Hi Tricia,<br />Mmm, not a big fan of wild meat either - it&#39;s tastes too &quot;gamey&quot; for my uncultured palate LOL. Haven&#39;t had wild goat but my great uncle used to give us wild rabbits and ducks, I can imagine goat is even more robust! Did you get them from the markets? I love the concept of using feral goats that way.<br /><br />Cheers, JulieJuliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-30380683376857247452009-07-20T22:42:58.236+10:002009-07-20T22:42:58.236+10:00Thanks for a great recipe. Made it on top of the stove, as a soup. Even my DH who does not care for soup, admitted it was tasty. For the second batch I will add cheese tortelini.Mamhttp://atypicalife.net/mam/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-17101541935234732762009-07-19T22:25:35.728+10:002009-07-19T22:25:35.728+10:00Hi Julie<br /><br />I made this for dinner tonight. Yum! I used wild goat sausages. I&#39;m still not 100% certain I liked the goat bit - has a bit of an aftertaste??? But the recipe did a great job of hiding the goat taste.Triciahttp://littleecofootprints.typepad.com/little_eco_footprints/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-21835503404245006782009-07-18T09:38:01.812+10:002009-07-18T09:38:01.812+10:00Hi, Could you tell me what sort of lentils (yep, Ok, I&#39;m not a great cook!). Are they the red ones (dry) or tinned ones or...<br /><br />It looks like a yummy recipe and I have some sausages to use :-)Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11159365904128355951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-65273130781230826902009-07-18T07:44:19.257+10:002009-07-18T07:44:19.257+10:00To further clarify, that&#39;s the August Notebook: that has just hit the shelves in the shopsZienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-70246627403274202822009-07-18T07:39:31.670+10:002009-07-18T07:39:31.670+10:00Julie,<br /><br />As a long time reader of your blog I was delighted when I came across Towards Sustainability highlighted in this month&#39;s Notebook magazine under their recommended blogs on Sustainability. <br /><br />Congratulations Julie! <br /><br />And welcome to any new readers<br /><br />ZieZienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-28588470189384417122009-07-17T15:53:46.055+10:002009-07-17T15:53:46.055+10:00Have I ever told you I&#39;m jealous of your solar cooker? hehe<br /><br />We&#39;re craving the same things (again) Julie!

It&#39;s a mirror-reflector type. It&#39;s not exactly set-and-forget as you have to rotate it during the day to maximise the sun&#39;s reflection in the mirror, but it&#39;s barely any work to swivel it every few hours. Love it.<br /><br />Cheers, JulieJuliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-47108267620708031382009-07-17T10:49:42.794+10:002009-07-17T10:49:42.794+10:00Yum! I love meals that are quick to throw together, and can be left cooking all day so there&#39;s nothing to do at dinner-time.<br /><br />Do you have a solar cooker? If so, what type?Darren (Green Change)http://www.green-change.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32933752.post-43553841524750179592009-07-17T09:45:59.658+10:002009-07-17T09:45:59.658+10:00There&#39;s tomorrow night&#39;s dinner.
