    Hello!

    I've heard a lot of mention of lentils being added to bol sauce. What kind of lentils should I use? (Have green and dried split red) I am a lentil virgin...
    For some reason, I always tend to use red if a tomato based sauce and green if gravy ... works every time.
    That's Numberwang!

    my new curtain lining has arrived, it is different from other stuff I have used before. It is white on one side and cream on the other and quite stiff,

    does it matter which colour faces out?

    What is very stronger flour? I was looking for bread flour in Asda yesterday, very strong flour was cheaper than strong flour.

    Thanks,
    Chell

    Hi Chell,

    I didn't know the answer to this so did a quick google and apparently very strong flour has a higher protein content and gluten strength than strong flour.

    Hi findinghappiness,

    If I'm adding lentils to bolognese I usually use red because they really can't be identified by my family. ;)

    I have some beetroot cooking which I got reduced today. Anyone know how long to boil as I am very tired and want to go to bed. Been on 40 mins so far.
