It was a snap!

Here’s what I did.

Saturday I knew I wanted to make lentil soup, and that Monday’s schedule was still up in the sir. So I chose Crockery Lentil Soup. It cooks in the slow cooker 10-12 hours so scheduling issues, whatever they turned out to be, were of no import. Sunday we picked up some carrots at the store and devised a plan, given that Monday’s circumstances were beginning to take shape. I also retrieved the lentils from the freezer in the Bunkhouse. This morning Mr. Big Food brought me my coffee and then he got back to work rinsing lentils, chopping onions, carrots, celery and such, frying bacon, and assembling everything in the crockpot. I got a second cup of coffee. We did forget to turn it on before we left home and drove to Starkvegas due to circumstances beyond our control. So I had to turn it on when I got home. And I have had to stir it and add some stock. And I suppose I will have to add more stock or turn it off in a while before I leave. So it’s not like I didn’t do anything.

Still, as Marica Cooks Mondays go, it’s been pretty easy so far. And it smells divine.
