Tasty when properly prepared. I like brown lentils, my husband not so much. Chili with or without meat, minestrone, zucchini with chick-peas, Korean and Japanese snacks with sweet red bean filling, cassoulet, black soy-beans braised in soy-sauce and sugar,… I have to prepare all that more often.Soak them thoroughly in cold water (not in the fridge unless it’s really hot; better change the water several times).Salt from the beginning is OK, even stock.Never under-cook them, avoid any kind of acidity until they are fully cooked (that includes tomatoes, wine and juice of any kind).
Still lots do do here; big party tonight – and we both had problems with our backs and knees and colds (nothing at the same time, of course), it’s pretty rare that I take some ibuprofen… Better today (fingers crossed), sunny weather, just drinking coffee. Oh, and short night next night – day-saving-time…
Peanut ice-cream can be very tasty, too…
Sadly, our ice-cream-cafe is under new management; I think the old owner retired. We already miss the ice-cream he made… Fortunately, like him, the new maker is Italian, too – but some kinds aren’t as good as before. Either he uses too much butter-vanilla-extract or more cream instead of egg. The fruit-ice-creams are still excellent; I’ll try lemon (usually our test) and banana. Pistachio is still la bomb – and without extra coloring.
As far as the comic goes, it isn’t that it’s ice cream that softened him up a bit, it’s the gesture she made in bringing it to him. Now that they have both relaxed a bit they can move on to resolving their issue. It’s good that she had the wisdom and maturity to make the first move.

OK, I went and got Tony’s question, even though some people thought I kinda implied yesterday that I wouldn’t….
This is the part I said was gonna get Tony grounded….
every day lately he says
There’s a new one EVERY DAY (and they ask me why I drink)
We get it, Tony! We drive you to drink.
But then he asks…..
“You like nuts? What are your feelings on legumes?”
Hmmm….
I know a lot of nuts….
some of my favorite people are nuts…..
other nuts, I could live without.
As for legumes….
well, if we’re still talking about ice cream,
I don’t care much for green bean swirl, or for split pea sundaes….
then again, peanuts are legumes, and chopped peanuts aren’t too bad on a banana split….
they’re pretty much like nuts.

Yes; we like you.

@Susan Only split peas errr seconds apart…
But I wanted to share my cooking knowledge.

Do you know how many cartons of Neapolitan she had to go through to make you that bowl of strawberry ice cream?

@Tony:
I like nuts. Okay, I’ll say it, even though it’s a bad joke: I’m nuts about nuts! Maybe you’ll all go nuts over today’s…
Second “Daddy’s Home” Question:
Would you forget?

I like my version of “coffee” ice cream. That’s one that’s “Chock Full O’ Nuts”!

Nuts in ice cream is just plain wrong!
