Lentil Soup

It's incredible that this mouth-watering dish is also so healthy.

Sautee onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Add dried lentils and a bunch of basil and cover with water. (It seems to work regardless of exact amounts.) Simmer in a pressure cooker for 30 minutes.

Even DD ate lentil soup tonight!! (Does this mean her sore throat is gone, or just that the dish is amazing?)

Welcome

Everyone seems to have a blog nowadays, so I decided to be proactive and author one myself.

It's not like my life lacks blog-worthy content. After all, I have a one-year-old -- our professional mayhem maker -- whose escapades, and my concurrent ruminations, could fill volumes.  I'm also on a conquest to become an expert healthy/lazy/budget-friendly chef.  And experimenting with working from home as a freelance web programmer.

Also, I have these grand visions that, with a blog, I'll have a good answer for all those people who ask, "So what do you do all day?"  -- "I blog.  Come, check it out."  Sounds much more comprehensible than "I chase my toddler while overseeing dinner, lunch, and yogurt and writing PHP."
