Hearty-lentil-stew -- jolly delicious. Someone suggested a slow cooker and yesterday I went off in search of just such a thing. I came home with a Kenwood Mijoteur. All I had to do this morning was place the ingredients in the crock, adjust the cooking time electronically, and set the contraption on the bedroom floor. Voilà, nine hours later after some intensive hard labour, we can feast. Of course, your local friends also spoil you with supper invitations! Bassett update: she had the long walk as promised.
