And, psst… I’m really inspired by your Lent-long vegan endeavor, so much that I even dropped in my last post. Hope you don’t mind! It’s funny, because every year when Lent starts, I listen to people talk about what they’re giving up, and I’m reminded of the old Catholic school teacher lesson: Lent is not a diet. To say “I’m giving up carbs for Lent” sounds more like an Atkins binge than a penance. I admire your tradition, though, and think it means so much – hear, hear!

I remember the day when you HAD to go down to the well. I hope your plumbing is restored soon.

Kudos to you for reconnecting in such a meaningful way! This soup looks like it combines some interesting flavors. Gotta try the grilled avocado.

And yes — indoor plumbing has spoiled us all, hasn’t it? :)

I never would have thought of doing it but now that you brought it up it sounds great. The lentil soup has all sorts of unexpected flavor combinations and I’m looking forward to trying it.

I have a brand new, little jar of piment d’espelette, and this lentil soup sounds fantastic.

I’ve seen lots of places to order it though, and lots of variations in price from place to place. Do you know if it makes a difference?
