I bought some really interesting beluga lentils this weekend that are tiny and black. Expect to see something with those in the next few weeks.<br /><br />We love our cats, I can't understand how anyone could hurt a poor defenseless animals. People that would do that are not human in my book. If I think about the negative I will get angry so I choose to be thankful that you and your husband found him and he has a loving home now. I believe that rescued animals seem to understand that they have a better life and that is why they are such loving pets. Does that sound like Bumpers to you?<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-45313089482341897712009-09-09T07:46:52.192-04:002009-09-09T07:46:52.192-04:00I love red lentils.

When we got him he had giant ulcers all over his eyes but they have since healed. He can't see light so that means his optic nerve is damaged. That makes me think that his blindness is the result of an injury. I really don't know. I just know he won't ever see again. :(janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13554793927754269525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-36542360479223111322009-09-08T23:30:25.154-04:002009-09-08T23:30:25.154-04:00Rose,

And I was being lazy, since I was exhausted. It turned out really well and was different which was what I wanted.<br /><br />As many times I have canned things I still am surprised by how long it takes. I had every burner going (sterilizing, peeling, canning, and warming the lids). If I weren't so focused on organic and no added sugar fruit I don't know I would do this very often. Today I made four types of peaches, plain, with cinnamon, with cloves, and with cardamom all without sugar. <br /><br />Michelle, <br /><br />The soup was good particularly since it is cool and rainy here today. Other than carnaroli I don't have any white rice in the house anymore. We eat brown rice 99% of the time now. <br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-68019318909184558902009-09-08T23:04:26.504-04:002009-09-08T23:04:26.504-04:00this sounds so comforting and warm i can imagine w...this sounds so comforting and warm i can imagine what it would feel like in my belly:)short grain brown rice is so good. really really good! ten times better than white ricedirtyduckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11383110271569591721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-77932057425295284792009-09-08T22:49:26.386-04:002009-09-08T22:49:26.386-04:00Soup looks good; I love the idea of it being extra...Soup looks good; I love the idea of it being extra-lemony. I did sort of the opposite this week; I made tomato soup and was going to add red lentils, but as it turned out, I didn't have any in my cupboard. <br /><br />Isn't it surprising how time-consuming canning is? It seems like if you're organized and know what to do, it shouldn't take too long. I've only done it a few times, but I was in the kitchen for hours and hours. Oh well, time flies when you're having fun (or not).Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02114977921830686539noreply@blogger.com
