    We love lentils and this looks delicious Catherine. I just featured turmeric rice, it’s one of my favorites and gives the rice such a nice flavor.

    Mi querida amiga; empezaré por la fotografía y el texto que me parecen de una GRAN BELLEZA, (el CISNE) es para mi la gran figura del ballet.
    Luego decir que este PLATO tan completo, no tardará mucho en ponerse sobre mi mesa; porque me ha parecido EXQUISITO.
    Que tengas un FELIZ FIN DE SEMANA, descansando o preparando tus ricos platos; que más da, si con uno u con otro seguirás siendo la misma CATHERINE :))))
    Conxita
