I sprained my knee.  OUCH!  It looks like the big garden will fall by the wayside for now, so... SPROUTS!

Fenugreek seeds, lentils & mung beans soaked on day one.  (No fancy equipment.  I used mason jars with the mesh from packaged grocery store onions as the strainer top.)

Rinsed and drained every 8-12 hours.

2 days later, they’re done!

I couldn’t resist a yummy snack.  I have a very fond memory ofmy college cafeteria serving bagels with cream cheese, tomato, and alfalfa sprouts.  This is a “lighter” version. 

I like to host a dinner each week with friends and we all bring something to the table.  This week, a friend is bringing a marinated london broil for grilling.  I will be making a Korean sprout salad to accompany the grilled meat.
