I may well have said this to you before, but I did once see the trailer
of an 18 wheeler that was split in half on the side of the road.  We
were heading back through NY State and they were doing road repair.
They had scrapped the road as for resurfacing, but had left some fairly
large bumps in the road at regular intervals, maybe 6-9 inches high.  I
suspect that the truck went over them a bit too fast and got a see saw
effect which his trailer could not stand.

      Title: LENTILS WITH PUMPKIN AND DRIED BEEF
 Categories: Beans, Meats, Stews
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
  2 1/2 c  Lentils, dried
      2 tb Lard
      2    Onion; sliced
      2    Hot red chilies, dried; or
           ;3 small hot green chilies,
           ;crushed
  1 1/2 tb Paprika
    1/2 lb Bastourma; or Khlii in one
           ;piece
      2 lb Pumpkin; peeled, seeded and
           ;cubed
      3 sm Tomato; peeled, seeded and
           ;chopped
 
    Note: "Khlii" is a Moroccan sun-dried beef spiced with coriander,
  cumin and garlic.
  
    Melt the fat or lard in a large, heavy-bottomed pot and cook the
  onions together with the chilies, paprika and bastourma (or Khlii, if
  available) until the onions are wilted.  Add 2 quarts of water and
  season the mixture with salt.  Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce
  the heat to low.
    In another large pot, parboil the lentils for one to two minutes in
  boiling water.  Drain them, and pour them immediately into the\e pot
  with the meat.  When the lentils are almost cooked--after 15
  minutes--add the pumpkin and tomatoes.  Take the stew off the heat as
  soon as the pumpkin is cooked--about 20 minutes.  Remove the meat,
  slice it thin and put it back into the pot.  Add a little water to
  the stew if the sauce is too thick. misc07
