Last week TW sent me this link to Red Lentil Soup. My reaction was YUK. I don’t much care for lentils and I really really hate soup. TW said, Yea I know but it’s something different. So I saved the link. On Monday I AIMed TW and asked her what she wanted for dinner this week, she said that "Slashfood lentil thing". I sighed and made sure to add all of the necessary ingredients to my shopping list and made sure to include that "Slashfood Lentil thing" in the menu when Michelle and I created it.
Yesterday was suppose to be that "Slasfhood Lentil thing" but I couldn’t face it. I’d already cooked once with Michelle, cleaned up that mess, helped her with a truly messy chemistry experiment, cleaned up that mess and dealt with Michelle and the sewing maching. I told TW I couldn’t face the "slashfood lentil soup" and she said "Huh? I hate soup and I hate lentils! Why are we having lentil soup???" I sent her the link, sent her the AIM log where she specifically said "that lentil thing" and we argued about it a bit and laughed about it a lot more. And then, we had avocado salad sandwiches instead (they were good but I went overboard with the jalapenos a wee bit).
Today we had the "Slashfood Lentil thing" and even though it absorbed more of the liquid than it should have and became that "red lentil thing" and really not "red lentil soup" at all, it was good. We wanted flatbread to go with but Publix had none so we just got pita instead. A definite success. Particularly because we don’t like lentils or soup.
Thou hateth soup?
And I suppose next you will say you hate enchiladas. 😉
No I like enchildads if they are meat-free.
Oooh. That soup sounds good. I always hate soup when i think about making it, or someone suggests it. But like it when i get it.
My favourite is spinach and mushroom… does that work?
Okay, tell the truth, you’re really writing a sitcom series with all this material, right?
I’m not, but I could.
