The Way of the Lentil

My favorite recipe for making lentil soup is easy. Take one cup of lentil & soak it in water for 2 to 3 hours. In a slow cooker take 4 cups water, one 8 oz can of tomato sauce, one 8 oz. packet of frozen chopped spinach ,add one small chopped onion, two cloves garlic & one small ginger root . Cook for 3-4 hours till it is completely cooked. Add salt & pepper to taste.

The Best Roast Chicken Recipe? Who Wants to Try It With Me?

Excellent , does not seem like a lot of work. I love the idea of tucking in the herbs inside the small pockets of skin.

Dinner Tonight: Curried Sautéed Cauliflower

How strange, I just posted a roasted coconut curry cauliflower recipe today and then was reading my email feed of Serious Eats and saw curried cauliflower and roasted cauliflower! I have to try the Martha recipe with capers now.

The peanut butter sandwich cookies (Do si do's) taste terrible now. I'm almost afraid to open the box of Caramel Delites ~ too much disappointment for one day.

Girl Scout Troops receive more than .25. The norm is .50 per box goes to the troop and they have opportunities for making more. Then another $2.00 or more goes to the Council and this money goes into creating great opportunities for the girls. There are camps and program and more depending on the area. Be assured when you purchase Girl Scout Cookies 80% goes toward Girl Scout activities. Of course a donation is always appreciated. My daughter has sold cookies for 8 years and she has learned so much from the activity. Of course SHE sold the cookies, Girls do not learn too much if parents sell and deliver them. Remember they are great from the freezer in the middle of Summer.

What is the world coming to when Girl Scout cookies are no longer the evil delicacy they have always been? If I want a low-calorie snack I'll eat raw veggies, thank you very much!

Did you know that the $3.50 box of cookies you buy to help support the Girl Scouts only gives 25 cents to the Girl Scouts? (As of 3/1/2004)Hopefully, you are ordering the cookies for your own craving (as I do) and not for the notion that you are helping the local chapter. I personally order 1 box of trefoils and 1 box of thin mints then give the girls a $5 donation. They deserve to receive more of the profit for all the selling they do.

Samoas are worth their weight in gold to me. I'll buy one box, and eat two cookies a day (with a cup of tea) until they're gone. This seems to work for me. But god help the individual who thinks they can "share" my samoas.

I have read that the cinna-crisps are not available in all areas. I'll be curious to see how well they sell.

I actually took the dish to a pot luck. We had other vegetarian delights, including a great squash lasagna. But I made sure to snag the leftovers of the cauliflower. And they did taste better the next day.

Dinner Tonight: Curried Sautéed Cauliflower

Franny's (a phenomenal pizza restaurant on Flatbush Ave near Park Slope) has a curry cauliflower appetizer that is probably similar to yours. The cauliflower turns brown and nearly cripsy... definitely more than a tad of oil there.
