I go through periods when I want to eat certain foods all the time. I love Long Rice Noodles and could live on them. I wonder when we go through these phases, if our bodies are telling us they need something contained in thee foods? That's my story and I'm sticking to it :-). Have a great day.

Let everything simmer until lentils are soft but not mushy, which takes around 20 minutes or so. Drain and you're good to go!<br /><br />I'll include this in the post, especially since I forgot all about the bay leaves!Luciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16680512068683629098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298497004825179580.post-85232197488326280892010-04-22T15:33:16.715-04:002010-04-22T15:33:16.715-04:00what if you're starting out with dried lentils...what if you're starting out with dried lentils?
