From I Dream of Dinner so You Don’t Have To by Ali Slagle
The second time I made it I used green lentils instead of red. Seemed to hold shape better. Serve on toasted buns just as you would their cousin Sloppy Joe.

Still celebrating
A guilty pleasure which many don’t understand. Pouring milk on cake. Usually I’d do it on a stale piece but this little piece was still fresh.
Here’s a 14 second video of milk being poured over a piece of Trader Joe’s Lemon Sheet Cake atop a nest of juicy blackberries.
Filling the Sugar Bowl
Do you keep a sugar bowl?
A friend was coming for coffee today and she enjoys a bit of sweetness in her coffee.I was filling my old Fostoria sugar bowl from my maternal grandmother as it doesn’t have a lid .
I drink my coffee black these days and although I love coffee ice cream I don’t add sugar to my hot coffee.
The Power of Suggestion
My friend Tookie texted the other day that she made French Toast with a loaf of Mancini Bakery Twist bread. Hmm.
I had part of a loaf from La Gourmadine I bought earlier in the week. I sliced it. And this morning I thought yes, I need to make French Toast. Thanks Tookie.
Italian or French bread? It’s all delicious.
Easy Egg Pan Clean Up
I heard about this method of cooking eggs so they don’t stick to the pan.
1. Heat your pan
2. Heat your fat (olive oil and butter)
3. Pour in beaten eggs (one minute video I filmed) click to watch
A pretty clean pan
Farm Fresh Eggs
Saturday I helped out with Sheep Shearing day at Flower Hill Fleeces Farm.
of Tableten Podcast fame.
It was chilly in the barn.
At the end of the day, I was given a dozen farm fresh eggs from their chickens. Thanks Jodi. You can let the eggs sit on the counter until you wash them. Then they need refrigeration. I washed two and put butter and olive oil in my omelet pan to fry them up.
Here’s the short video of them cooking. Look at those vibrant yolks.
They were delicious.

A Recurring Theme
Popcorn. I like it. My sister does not.
My parents used to buy bags of Strawberry Popcorn Kernels and give them to us.
In Durand, Illinois. It was not strawberry flavored but red kernels like these pictured below.
I don’t care for microwave popcorn. I bought these two types at Soergel Orchards
