EGYPTIAN: Red Lentil Soup

The first time I cooked this was for a memorable Sabbath lunch with Buffy and Helo. Much love to both of you ladies.


1 1/4 cup red lentils
1/2 cup rice
1/3 cup canola oil
1 large onion
6 cups vegetable stock
1 TBSP cumin
1 TBSP olive oil
salt & pepper

1. Rinse the lentils.
2. In a large saucepan, heat oil and cook the onion for one minute.
3. Add the stock and bring to a boil.
4. Add lentils and rice. Cook for twenty minutes.
5. Add cumin, oil, salt, and pepper.

Eat as soon as possible. All of it.

Was that the day I was seizing with tenseness? Didn't we go into the living room to just look out the window and breathe in deeply for a few seconds?

Oh, Charissa, I miss you. Michael just asked me what I'd do without his saning influence. Now he's kissing me, saying how crazy I am.

But maybe this isn't appropriate comment material.
