I'm up to my ears in lentil soup. I was hoping for a Lentil Chocolate Surprise or Lentil Souffle or Lentil a l'Orange or Lentil Banana Split.

Delia? Gordon? Jamie?

This is my favourite lentil recipe:

Very carefully place lentils at back of cupboard
Pick up pizza menu
Call in order
Wait for 20 minutes - pizza non lentila

(A DFW adaptation would have to be a frozen pizza that you picked up dirt cheap from Tesco, or better still free on R&R)

Not much help but I thought I would say hello :wave:

I like that one, Jessica!

Might try it later in the week when I'm desperate as I'm currently stuffed with pasta (it won the vote, you see).

Ah, thanks Lyns - I really appreciate it!

My guy at the gym thinks I can do it (I'm not really of Lisa Riley proportions (yet) btw) and I have a Cunning PlanTM to keep me on track.

"Oooooh! Whatever is it?" I hear you cry.

Sssssssssh! It's a secret ... for now!

I've got a Ray who'se better than all the others...we're talking a well-built, muscly (well....mostly:D ) 6 footer, balding a la Ray Stevenson, goatee and bright blue twinkly eyes....sadly I can't post his pic on here as he looked slightly horrified at the idea.....who is he?....my lovely OH who'se middle name happens to be Ray!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Lentils or something else? Absolutely no flippin contest from where I'm sitting - I still have nightmares about my grandma's stodgy lentil soup._pale_ _pale_ _pale_

Phwoar freebird! You kept him quiet!

Signature amended accordingly...

minnie i got at least two rays on google for ya. does that count or are you nto allowed to do googles on your ray thing?? in fact whats with the rays anyway??

i'll only tell you them if its allowed

MinnieSpender

Google away!

The Ray thing has become something of an obsession between freebird65 and me. It appears that we both only find men called "Ray" attractive.

Almost like a modern version of The Importance of Being Earnest.

:rotfl: :rotfl: I did this earlier too lyns....and got all excited at Ray Mears as I like a bit of adventuring myself....unfortunately he didn't quite pass the MinnieFreebird (hmmmm...a mini freebird....I like it!) Rayometer test as we appear to like 'em a bit rough round the edges. Ray Charles is cool.....but methinks we'd prefer our Rays alive!!! ROFLMAO!!!

Can't understand why I never thought of OH before......feel rather guilty!

Am off to amend signature.....Minnie and Freebird..Wanna Ray Club members Nos 1 and 2......or should that be The Cult of Ray? hehehehehe
