Day 118: or The Day of Lentils

Last night, I made a cold lentil salad. It was pretty good, but seeing how I've never made lentils before, I may have made a little too much. So today, I was instructed to  try and finish them. Rough.

I told the kids, the more we eat today, the less we have tomorrow. We all sat down and I was proud of the kids. A real team effort. The 14 year old and I worked on a second helping for a good 10 minutes after everyone else left. We got the giggles because we just stared at our plates, dreading it. We managed to get the amount down to a very manageable size and I packed it away in a small container. We contemplated chucking it in the garden, but we fought those instincts.
