Hi Ruth,

 RH> All we're getting is cooked.  Too darned hot and humid up here.

Sounds like our typical June temps. We've had a bit of that too, but
more days in the 80s than 90s so far.

We got some peach-blueberry cobbler at the farmer's market yesterday.
The husband (husband-wife vendor team; she usually does baked goods and
jams) of the lady that made it said it was best eaten with vanilla ice
cream. After we were done at the market, we headed up to Lowe's and got
some ice cream. (G) BTW, he said he gave us 2 portions of it--it was
more like 4 portions in reality. Twice the goodness. (G)

They can be disguised a lot of ways but pre cook them a bit if you do
want them with tomatoes. I don't usually use much tomato (usually a can
or two of chopped or sauce) but have cooked the lentils long enough that
they do soften.
