Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes it is and I don't have my car so I can't go to the market, it's in for a tune up until 5pm. I have a bag of red lentils and I'm off to try one of the recipes in a few minutes. Is it pouring for you right now? The raindrops are the size of 50 cent pieces and the sun is out so I better find that rainbow. Donna --- Shelly <anislandgirl wrote: > Have I mentioned I love this soup?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 What are you making with the red lentils? I printed out a recipe called Delicious Pakistani Dahl that I'm hoping to try soon. Did you find the rainbow? Not pouring here but we have really high winds, big ugly clouds, and it's been sideways sprinkling all day.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Back to sun and no rainbow. I have 5 sets of windchines and it sounds like I'm in a Tibetan temple with bells ringing. Shelly, I made a great soup chowder thingy. I'm off to eat it now and then I'll post the recipe. I saw it on the Internet but I completely changed it all around.
