That's a squirrelly thing to say. With a better PR guy,
anyhow, he could have been remembered as the Johnny Appleseed
of millet.

Save some for me! Though with that description you give, I have
few doubts on that. Maybe this Scotch should be drunk straight.
Touch of tobacco is allowed; old bookstore is dubious, but
formaldehyde is a distinct no-no.

Which makes my disordered brain go "is it possible to be antisocial
and a socialist at the same time? If so, count me in."

Lentil corn stew
cat: veg, fixable, main
servings: 4

1 c dried lentils, rinsed
4 c water
- may sub chicken stock
1 lg onion, chopped
2 c chopped tomatoes, fresh or canned
2 c corn kernels, fresh or frozen
1 ts dried basil
- or 2 Tb fresh basil, chiffoned and chopped
4 lg cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1 1/2 ts sea salt
h - seasonings
1 ts cumin
1 ts ground chipotle
1/2 ts cayenne
curry powder, optional
hot sauce, optional
sausage, optional

Combine the lentils and water in a large pot. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30-40 min, until the
lentils are soft.

Add remaining ingredients, and simmer for another 20 min.

Serve with hot sauce and a pile of shredded cheese. Beer
is an appropriate condiment.

Swap some of the water with chicken stock for something a
little more savory. Dump in some curry powder to go with
a little Indian flair. I add a few tablespoons of Mild
to Wild Savina Habenero and Garlic sauce.

Add sausage [to taste].
