Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been sorting through my pantry and realized I've got close to half a gallon of dried split peas, plus nearly as much of various kinds of lentils. Considering that about a cup makes a pot of soup, I think I don't need to buy any more legumes for a while. (I've also got random bits of other sorts of dried beans, mostly black beans and kidney beans, but the lentils and split peas are a bit overwhelming.)

French women have sex 120 times per year.
Huh.
And I have just been informed that Swedes are the most previous of sexual partners @ 64% having had one night stands. I was going to guess Australians, and they come in at 60%, so I guess I would have been close.
This Manswers show is pretty base, but sometimes I need my low opinion of humanity shored up.
Wait, why did I get vertical again?

Hil, if you are feeling adventurous - lentils are the base for a couple of Ethiopian dishes.

Ooh, sounds fun. Actually, now that you mention it, I remember seeing a lentil and cauliflower Ethiopian recipe in one of my cookbooks, which I might make instead of the Indian lentil and cauliflower curry I was planning on for Tuesday. Need to check the recipe, though -- not sure what it needs besides lentils and cauliflower. I've been trying to expand my foods-from-other-countries repetoire beyond just Indian, Mexican, and Chinese.

I'm having a pita filled with hummus, taztziki, spring greens, cherry tomatoes and sliced chicken breast. TJs was a good idea. I also got thai noodles, a peanut satay sauce and stirfryable veggies. I also have (from an earlier trip to the grocery) stuff for pepper omelets, caesar salad...my stomach may manage not to die of boredom this week.
I also got more tealights, but that has nothing to do with my stomach.

The Ethiopian restaurant I go to does a wonderful lentil dish that is the tastiest thing ever -- and generally I don't like lentils and other beanlike things. Get the chicken in the red hot sauce and the lentils in the milder yellow sauce, and lots of t'eff bread... yum!
I spent the day in programming class, and actually got my final project actually kind of working -- manipulating a web service that will give you theatre and movie listings for a given zip code into a format that lets you look up showings by theatre, movie, or showtime. The instructor seems very happy with me. :-)

OK, I have the tofu marinating and the rice in the rice cooker. Another 40 minutes or so, and I will have dinner. And then I will do laundry, because I really need to do laundry and I keep putting it off.

Theo - that sounds like Doro Wat (chicken hot red sauce) and shiro (lentil yellow sauce). I can make the Doro Wat and mac will approve, but he is not a shiro fan (I am), so I have not tried making it at home yet. You may like Miser Wat which is the lentils in the hot red sauce as a good combo of the two. I have a new recipe for injera (the t'eff bread) that I plan to try out the next weekend I am not dead tired.
