Oh, I must confess . . . I love red lentils, but I am not a fan of "ordinary" lentils. Alas!
ReplyDeleteI love lentils! Specially the french style. We just made some soup the other day.

ReplyDeleteMelody - your photo's are always fabulous - but today's is the tops! Great salad too, but for me the photo highlights the post!
ReplyDeleteAbout this time last year, I was addicted to roasted lentils (like chickpeans, but they're smaller and cirspier :) ) I should rekindle my lentil love!
ReplyDeleteToday's portrait is particularly gorgeous :)

ReplyDeleteI LOVE lentils! All I've tried are the regular "ordinary" variety but I can't wait to give red lentils a shot! They cook up so quickly it's great for a fast meal after work! I think a soup is next on my list.
I also wanted to let you know I've nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. =)
