Long Live the Lentil!

I'm so excited: Mark Bittman, aka The Minimalist, has just written an article about dal, or cooked beans. As you know, I love beans, especially lentils (even if I've given up my blog devoted to legumes)--in fact I have a pot of white beans with kale and rice, and some various spices including garam masala (it was clean out the fridge night) on the stove right now--and I can't wait to try his recipes, one with apples and coconut, the other with cashews (okay, Mama won't like these last two so I'll have to do it on a day she's working, which gives me several dates to choose from in the coming three months).
