>Sometimes there are just too many celebrations and commemoration days/weeks/months. This week in my fair city the downtown area and the school district have their version of Disability Awareness. In our neck of the woods, we call it Celebrating Abilities. I’ve had concerns about the way this group has portrayed disabled people as cute, incapable, very needy children. In the past few years they have changed their focus for the better. A few years ago they sponsored a recital that included a blind violinist and a cellist with one arm. Both are very talented musicians.
>Readers, you know me. I’ll see a recipe and say “I could make that! But….” and then the variations begin. This one started as a Lentil soup. I didn’t have lentils, but I had beans. Kidney beans. No, I know, they’re not the same, but as the basis for a soup, they’ll both work. Prep the beans first; soak overnight, at least. I put mine in the crock pot on high for a few hours, then turned it to Keep Warm for overnight. In the morning, I rinsed the beans and started over with the rest of the ingredients.
