The lentils

Oh hi, Honey.  Sorry, I'm running late.  All that wet weather gave me the sniffles.  **sniffle**  I hope you are doing great.  You must be busy.  I am always busy, it seems.  From 5 am all the way up to midnight.  After this, it's voice training.  Oh, that chili without beans... lentils just don't work for chili.  Lentils have too strong a flavor.  They are sure filling though, and cheaper than rice right now.  But as for that lentil chili, here's a grade:

As chili: F
As lentil soup: C+
As lentil soup if you like lentils and add ketchup and crunchy anchovies: B

Sometimes you just can't cut corners, no matter how broke you are.  Next time, I'll make lentil soup.  Or hummus.

Hey Natty, it's great to see that you are so busy.  Please have fun at what you do!  If you get tired, take naps.  What are those flaps covering your boobs?  I don't understand that.  It seems a bit haute couture, but otherwise the dress looks so normal.  Good thing you are so beautiful, you can make any outfit look good.  But that's the point, right?
