I can't wait to get some teasers from Jean and Lucy to publish in the bulletins. This should get other web users involved with fellow church members in a very new and fun way. I cannot wait for the Presbyterian Woman's Cookbook. It was so much fun being on the sidelines when it was being planned and put together. I bet Margy and company think it was fun too - now that all the hard work is finished! Lucy and her team of cooks are wonderful. What a relief that we have made ahead meals to bring to those in need rather than people scrambling around to prepare something at the last minute.

I look forward to it as an interactive way to stay involved over the summer.

Spicey French Lentils with Sausage Soup One rainy winter evening we got so cold that our toes were aching. We needed something tangy and warm to heat us up on the inside. This is what came out: 1 tablespoonsweet cream butter 2 large carrots chopped 2 large stalks celery chopped Teaspoon cumin Dash black pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika Dash cayenne pepper 1 lb sweet Italian pork sausage 3 cups low salt chicken broth 1 1/2 cups dry French Lentils Grated Parmesan Reggiano for a topping This is a simple sauté-and-broth soup that is ready in less than 30 minutes. In a good heavy-bottom stockpot melt the butter and add carrots, celery and dry spices. Sauté over high heat for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to cook and the spices become fragrant. Chop the sausage on a cutting board and then add it into the sauté. Cook the sausage over high heat with the vegetable mix for another 5 minutes until it has browned well. The sausage, however, does not have to be fully cooked, as the broth will finish cooking it. Add in chicken broth and French lentils. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium low. Cover with a lid and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until lentils are softened but not mushy. Serve immediately and top with grated cheese for extra flavor. This soup also stores well in the refrigerator for up to a week. In fact, it's often better after a day or two in the fridge. Serves 4 a comment from Lucy . . .

Spicey French Lentils with Sausage Soup

One rainy winter evening we got so cold that our toes were aching. We needed something tangy and warm to heat us up on the inside. This is what came out:

1 tablespoonsweet cream butter
2 large carrots chopped
2 large stalks celery chopped
Teaspoon cumin
Dash black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Dash cayenne pepper
1 lb sweet Italian pork sausage
3 cups low salt chicken broth
1 1/2 cups dry French Lentils
Grated Parmesan Reggiano for a topping

This is a simple sauté-and-broth soup that is ready in less than 30 minutes. In a good heavy-bottom stockpot melt the butter and add carrots, celery and dry spices. Sauté over high heat for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to cook and the spices become fragrant. Chop the sausage on a cutting board and then add it into the sauté.
