Hi Kyles,
Thanks for the links and the tips. I started some lentils and added salt already. It seemed like they took a long time to get soft. I cooked them for about 2 hours. I like them soft though. Indeed, I added too much salt (opps) and so now I'm making some more without any salt so I can mix them together.
Those are some good spice ideas. But I would have to not cook them so long if I'm going to put onions in them as the onions will turn to mush if I do.
OK, I'm going to go check on them now. Thanks.
Tom
