I actually love a pure meat chili, but I enjoy all kinds -- DH likes lots of beans, so his are very beany. Three kinds in the latest round. Lentils are just always good no matter when or how.
One caveat to the always lentils. I once made chili and happened to have some left over so threw them in the chili. I forgot about soaking them first. Made for a really ... interesting texture.
Cauliflower is pretty delicious. I forget you can mash it.
I have like a mental block about lentils because once as a child I had lentil soup that was made with, I don't know, old, expired, spoiled, something lentils that did not taste good at all. I know, intellectually, that that is not what lentils taste like, and have had them many times and enjoyed them, but they never occur to me as something I want and I have a knee jerk "ew" response whenever they come up that is totally unwarranted.
Argh. Getting a haircut and it’s drying and she absolutely cut way more off than I asked and it’s not at all the style I asked for. Time to stock up on hats I guess.
I said “I like the length in the front and back but want shorter sides, and want it kind of mullet-y” and she…chopped off the back to curve it to my skull. wtf.
Oh ugh. That sounds really off from what you wanted. Is it fixable? (Not the length obviously.)
Oh, man, to know what you want done and get something completely else, argh!
I don’t remember having lentils as a kid but I love them now! And many don’t need any kind of soaking.
For low carb, potato like veggies, may I also suggest rutabaga and turnip. I also love cauliflower.
It is 11 pm and I just started the beef stew in the instapot, but it should only take 30 minutes. It has turnip, rutabaga, onion and celery along with the beef. But my non diagnosed ADHD has lost the pepper/has no pepper so I added red chili pepper flakes.
I was going to enthuse about roasted cauliflower (summary: SO GOOD), but then Tim made blueberry pancakes for dinner because I was stressed and sad, and I gotta say, blueberry pancakes are pretty fucking awesome.
Blueberry pancakes are, indeed, pretty fucking awesome.
