Bangles. Lentil Soup and French Homework


I am working on many different projects.  A black crochet wrap, studying for French, making a leather tote, cooking and reading Mansfield Park.  All this while working my day-job. 
The older I get, the more confident I become of what I can do, and the less time I seem to have.

"Fast Cooking," like my mom says

1 cup of lentils
2 cups of water/and or chicken broth.
1/4 cup of coarsely chopped onions
1 celery stalk chopped
1 carrot chopped
1 clove of whole garlic
fresh thyme or a basil leaf
Olive oil
salt and pepper taste

Heat oil in pot
Sauté the onions, carrots, celery, in oil-until the onions begin to sweat
put lentils and broth in pot (add water gradually)
add whole garlic/ herb/salt and pepper
Heat / Simmer until cooked. 
Add water if necessary.


Crusty Bread and a salad.  Make a pot and you can heat it up fast for dinner!


Bangles bought at lunch! Coolio!
