Why not dried lentils for a sub, Julie?
So quick and easy to cook and they don't need to be pre-soaked either.

"Living on Tulsa Time" (a song)
A Motel 6 wouldn't be a good place to be in a tornado either.
And if you left the campsit due to a severe storm, why didn't you
quickly take down your tent and take it with you too?

There was no tornado warning, just a tornado watch, not a rare thing on a
Memorial Day weekend in Oklahoma. The Motel 6 was 40 miles away. That
was the last time we went to Oklahoma for Memorial Day weekend.

We were planning on going back the next day, and staying a couple more
nights, which we did, but we had to drive to a WalMart to buy a new tent.
My son wanted to leave right away, and he felt strongly. Our attitude was
that my wife and I had made all the decisions so far on our vacation, and
it was my son's turn. I stuck both coolers in the tent after putting the
sleeping bags in the car. In a normal thunderstorm w/o tornado, the
coolers would have kept the tent in place. Luckily, the tent that got
trashed was a cheapo one that we'd bought because it was larger than
our nice tent. I'm glad we took the sleeping bags with us. The tent was a
$70 tent, but the sleeping bags were $300 each.

I just retired our old Walrus tent last year. It was almost 25 years old,
and had been a workhorse. The new tent is called Big Agnes.

There you go again, hinting he's maybe stealing food. I have no idea
why you ever put up with it, other than the fact that you are simply
incapable being comfortable in your own skin living alone.

Really? If you lived alone you'd never have to go through the pantry?
I live alone. I frequently go through my pantry (and the freezer) and
adjust things make note of what I have on hand and what I might need to
be replenished. Living alone is no reason not to keep things organized
and be aware of what you have to eat.

Canned lentils? Dried lentils only take about 20 minutes to cook. They
aren't the same as dried beans. Your excuses are specious.

Exactly, Gary. Dried lentils don't require soaking. They cook up in 20
minutes. It's another "poor pitiful me" couldn't get what I wanted
online post.

"Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV

There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers..."

I don't eat them. Justin does. I have dried ones. He has never used them. He
eats canned.

Nonsense! You are doubting that he ate It've seen how much he can eat at one
time. I will say that he doesn't generally eat three meals a day. Sometimes
it\s one meal.

I am perfectly comfortable here but there's a big storm rolling in. We coul
lose power and then I might be cold. I have electric heat.

I have decided, there is nothing I can say. You or someone else will twist
it into something else because you love drama.

I am in the process of transistioning over to my new computer. I doubt that
I'll put the news server on it. I'm only on two newsgroups now and the other
is essentially dead, save for one poster.

Where I am not comfortable is here, on this nerwgroup. It has become a most
unpleasant place.

I didn't say that. I said I wouldn't have to straighten it out. You took
what I said and turned the opposite way again. When I live alone, my pantry
is always organized. There is also far less food in it. Yes, I will have to
check dates on things. But I will never have to take all the cans of beans
out and put the kidney beans in one row because they would have stayed in
that row. And if I accidentally drop something, I will pick it up and put it
back where it goes.

He buys food. We share some food. Again, I don't generally pay him cash. I
do for some larger jobs. But our agreement was that he takes care of the day
to day things in exchange for room and board. Doesn't matter if you like it
or not, that's the agreement we made.

Amen! That's why parson Popeye rarely visits us these days. And
even rarer do we get a big raunchy sex story from his holiness.

And we don't get many wimmens with enormous titties and wet
squirting pussies post here anymore.

I do believe the damn devil has taken this place.

No, no. I ordered canned lentils. They wanted to send me dried. I have
dried. Don't need them. One thing canned foods are good for is power
outages. I have a gas water heater. I can put a can in a big pan of water
and have warm food for dinner. I keep caned rice too. It's Mexican rice. I
can get canned wild rice but the minimum order is 24. Only had to get 12 of
the Mexican.

We've been lucky this year. We usually have an extended power outage around
Thanksgiving. Some areas near here did. We didn't. But we are to have high
winds and heavy rain today and tomorrow. We might lose power. If we do, we
can still have warm food and won't have to eat a peanut butter sandwich. I
do have peanut butter but have had no desire to eat it for some time.

Is that because everybody turns their oven on at the same time, with a

"Substitutions". Is English your native language?

If you had snipped less, the meaning would be clear:

"Have a Walmart order coming any time now but
they subbed a name brand for the Great Value. All of the subs were fine
except for the lentils."

Slow down while you're reading and move your lips if it helps.

Have you tried Red lentils? I have some recipes I wanted to try but am
having trouble sourcing them. I don't know if they taste different.
If not, might try the recipes with what I have.

Red lentils are the ones I prefer. Last week I made a large pot of
really tasty lentil soup. Yum.

I was never terribly impressed with lentils until a had green lentils
with a meal in France. Then I realized they had potential.

Most got that right away. Sheldon was the only one who didn't (and the
others ignored you saying you already had dried).

Like me, I normally cook beans from dried but I do have a few cans for
fast fixes or storm supplies. Nothing odd in that.

Canned Mexican rice seems odd but now that you mention it, I have seen
it. Recently at a Dollar Store. I was getting some 'play makeup' for
a ladies kids (3 girls, 12-15). Got some cute crafty stuff too for
them. Case of hard times due to Covid. They were about to have little
to nothing under the tree so I pulled together about 25-30$ of stuff
that at that age, would be fun. Some of it was good enough for real
use too.

The Dollar store also had the best local price for Utz chips which as
Gluten Free (She and the kids are celiacs). Locally some 6 of us take
turns getting her groceries when times get really lean. Her company
has drastically reduced her hours and the ends don't quite meet.

This week was my turn (last was in May). We all make sure a good
proportion are shelf stable things. Lots of things in my load and if
using smaller meat portions, it will cover 4 for a month leaving her to
augment just veggies and fresh fruits.

Poor thing was down to 3 cans of tuna, a can of beets, 1/2 jar of mayo
and a bag of split peas... Payday is the 25th...

Lots of staples so next time, I'll see if the Mexican rice in cans
seems suitable. I think they were 2/1$.

On our list for next one to go there, is raw shelled peanuts. Locally
best place is American Asian Market and in a smaller load (I was adding
to anothers like Laurie is to this one), I tried Gai Lan with her and
they liked it. I may go before Christmas and if so, will get her those
things. Like I said, there are 6 of us. Her boss promised closer to
30 hours a week next month and while it isn't luxury living, she can
make ends meet. It was the 10-15 a week killing her.

Maentime, lots of ramble there but I get the 'shelf stable' bit well
and ability to heat without electric.

It's one of the 'bean types' I have been experimenting with off and on
for fun. I'm interested in recipes from India that aren't super hot
spiced.

I guess you said 'bean types' between quotes because lentils aren't
beans.

What the heck are they and is it important that they not be called beans?

Yes. I think those might have been the ones that cooked to mush. Winco has
them bulk.

The ones that are hard to find here are the small green, French ones. TJs
used to sell them but they told me they were changing the packaging and
didn't know when they'd have more in.

When I used to cook them, the plain brown cooked best. They will go to mush
if overcooked, but not like the red ones that seem to go from raw to mush in
an instant. I cooked them for 20 minutes in water or chicken broth with a
bay leaf or two added. When done, drain, add salt and pepper.

Lentils are a neutral food for me in terms of taste and texture but... They
spike my blood sugar and beans don't. So I don't eat them unless it's just a
few put in a soup with other things.

They are pulses as are beans. Beans differ in the way that they are cooked.
They are usually soaked and need much longer cooking.

Different flavor and texture. Texture is more like Lima beans.

That's curious because lentils help to regulate blood sugar levels and
prevent spiking in most humans. I guess you must be special..... or you
are just lying again.
