These types of photos are so cool to me. It’s a rare site for us here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Sure you’ve got your frozen fountain from HC Andersen times, but Jack Nicholson stared in The Shining which was a wonderful movie “Here’s Johnny…
” and we’ve got other Nicholson movies that have been filmed here locally. “One Flew Over The CooCoos Nest” was another fine Nicholson movie filmed here almost entirely. Heckfire, the psych hospital ward he broke out of to get away from that evil nurse Ratched is still downtown today, and it’s just had a few security revisions. But it does have a nice lawn area for taking your kids in the warm summer months.
I’ve just used your bacon and pea soup recipe, only with lentils! Had to make something quickly since we’re not traveling. Thank you for the inspiration.
Yes, I would also buy the chickpeas in a can. Would not have a clue how to make them nice and soft like they are in the can, if I had to start from scratch.
You are welcome. I have never tried it with lentils, are lentils able to cook to mush - making that nice thick soupy consistency?I’ve just used your bacon and pea soup recipe, only with lentils! Had to make something quickly since we’re not traveling. Thank you for the inspiration.
Lederhosen, huh? Let me dig out a pair.
(An elderly woman who’d had dementia froze to death this morning in our town park. It’s very sad and shocking.)
On a more cheerful note, I’m chilling some Godmé champagne named probably after our Sabine. It’s blanc de noirs (made from Pinot Noir grapes), which makes it more rich and full-bodied than a typical Chardonnay champagne. (Picked up the bottle at my wine tasting two weeks ago.)
Absolutely. Simmer for an hour or so and they blitz beautifully.
@Kristoff I already have your gmail address. I added you to the folder. There’s a lentil and rosemary soup (with tomatoes and bacon) that you will probably enjoy too.

Looking at it right now. Thank you!!!
What would lentils be classified as ? I know pea's are protein and carbs.Absolutely. Simmer for an hour or so and they blitz beautifully.

They’re legumes, high in protein. We used them a lot in Turkey, in the Aegean/Mediterranean cuisine.
So the lentils are actually good for my youngest then, for his protein that he needs. I am definitely going to need to add them to my shopping list.
Just cook the garbanzo (chickpeas) like ant other bean. Soak at the least, overnight, changing the water a-couple times while they soak and your watching “The Bachelor” or whatever on the television and then cookem low and slow, or is it slow and low? Anyway it shouldn’t matter, just cook them like you would any other bean. Recently I made a wonderful ground beef chili that had so many types of beans we doubled up the beans and sauce that we froze lots to add beef to in the future. It contains at the least;
Pinto beans
White beans
Kidney beans
Garbanzo bean
Lentils
Black beans
A smaller amount of Navy beans
and this is not the full list of the different types of beans put in that freezer food.
Soak 6-10 hours
Slow cook low 6-10 hours
Final cooking fluid I think should be a broth. I’d go with a beef type for flavor or chicken for flavor and salt!
All beans and peas are legumes, including chickpeas and peanuts! They’re all high protein and high fibre. They’re very good for you.
Peas and lentils are about 15 percent carbohydrate which is pretty low. Chickpeas are about 60 percent.
Hold on. I’ll go see if I can see any still.
People do them from scratch here. Takes ages.
Baked beans too.
They only started selling beans in a tin last year and it's still only one supermarket.
Sounds delicious.
Very sad about the old lady.
I have a photo of me in lederhosen somewhere or another...........
Well I couldn’t identify any lentils per-say because this mixture makes a pot of beans that looks like a bottle of India Ink has been dumped in it and I cooked it up. I only remembered Large Lima Beans when I took the lid off and I saw one peeking out at me!!!
Holy Crhow ! Is Adam aware we’re casually posting about NON-CHEESE foods in the CDR? I’m getting some shut eye. Really don’t want to be around when he catches wind of it all. LOL
It's really unforgivable.
Still you got a mention in at the end there.
Sleep well, Ken.
