FRIENDS ONLY
Leave a comment if you'd like to add me, before you add me. Usually I'll only add you back if:
1. I know you already in real life or otherwise
2. You were already on my list and changed journals
3. We've run into each other in shared communities
4. You're a friend of a friend
However if none of the above apply to you, it would be great if you could tell me how you found me. Right now my user info is kind of empty, so this might be kind of a long shot, but whatever. I have my reasons. :P
Most of what I write about is about my own life. I post on average about once a day, maybe less. They're pretty short posts, and any tl;dr posts are LJ-cut for your sanity. I also like to post funny stuff, because I figure if you're going to muck through my daily life, you deserve some lulz.
There you have it.

Egyptian Rice and Lentils

hungry
I've posted this once before, back in 2006, but I didn't follow instructions properly, making the process of this dish even more lengthy than it should be.
I know most of you are in my general age group; 20s-30s folks, struggling to get by in the crappy economy, like we all are. Some of you are jobless, that or are very strapped for cash.
I also know that a good handful of you are health-conscious to some degree, some are vegetarian, some love to cook, but one thing that I know you must all have in common, especially these days, is that you like to save money and eat well at the same time.
That is why I am resurrecting this recipe, only now I cook a bit better and I followed the directions properly, with FANTASTIC results.
This recipe involves minimal and CHEAP ingredients. Going to the bulk section of your local grocer and stocking up on rice and beans (of some variant) can keep you well fed for weeks.
Here's my fall-back rice and beans recipe.

Last week I made this and had it with plain yogurt on the side. It was SO GOOD. This time, I'm adding the bay leaf, cinnamon, and garlic to flavor the oil, as I do when I used to make curry. We'll see how it goes.
