Shoshoni dinner

Last night, while enjoying VwaV's Carrot Soup, I missed the brown rice that accompanied the carrot soup at the ashram. So tonight, we're finishing up the soup with some brown basmati rice (and the Beet Salad. Mmmm. This is an excellent recipe. Email me if you want it ... not sure I wanted to just post a full recipe from a cookbook, but I'm happy to share with a few friends!) I'm not much of a carb girl ... I do love my bread but rice, couscous, grains in general ... not my thing. But at the ashram they served it with the soup and Beet Salad and it was perfect to stir into the warming soup. With a side of homemade challah, this was a lovely winter meal. Shabbat shalom!
