Sprouting in the Kitchen: Still Creative

It started to get really warm mid May so I shelved the baking and looked for something else to do that was creative.

Being in a healthy frame of mind, I decided to tackle the job of sprouting. I heard so much good about sprouts and they seemed relatively easy. Again, the importance was paying attention and following directions. Okay, well, I learned I can follow directions, mostly, so why not.

I researched how to do it, and the times depended on the type of seed. The one I could never get going properly was the Adzuki beans, so I gave up on them. But everything else was very cooperative. I appreciated that.

I had a new routine during the day. Wake up, have coffee, then wet my sprouts. Within four days I had some yummy goodness.

I think I went through this process three or four times then the outside garden started to take my attention and the inside garden had to wait until the fall.
