My Dal experience the other day and the bean and potatoes salad yesterday at the Lodge made me question things - Is this the best post-meal feeling i’m creating for my self? i feel fine now - but is it as aware, comfortable, clear-minded. It’s good, but I think this is too complex, even for a weekend meal!
