I'll have to add them to soup now that I've started to use them--thanks for your comment!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-21102695406309506722008-11-17T11:53:00.000-07:002008-11-17T11:53:00.000-07:00I bought lentil meaning to learn to use them but n...I bought lentil meaning to learn to use them but never have - yet. To keep them from getting old they get added to soups and other bean dishes. It adds some nice protein to the vegetable soup dishes without screaming 'beans again' and color too. Just an idea.Stephanie in ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117946992633230458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-49013463911915098282008-11-16T22:29:00.000-07:002008-11-16T22:29:00.000-07:00Chris--I don't recall having used lentils before, ...Chris--I don't recall having used lentils before, but they were ok--and one thing I thought about them was that they were pretty filling, which would be very helpful when hungry. :) They wouldn't be our first choice, but tasty enough to try again. I was surprised about the 10 cups of pumpkin, too--it must have been the largest of the three we bought, because we got 7 cups each from the other two. Pumpkin, pumpkin, everywhere... :) Thanks for your comment!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-53379756401373909492008-11-16T20:57:00.000-07:002008-11-16T20:57:00.000-07:00We have never been a big fan of lentils around her...We have never been a big fan of lentils around here. But then again we have never been very hungry either. 10 cups of puree from one pumpkin?? That's great.<BR/><BR/>ChrisThe Scavengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285656622244814026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-53016790590310675662008-11-16T18:35:00.000-07:002008-11-16T18:35:00.000-07:00A now former reader left a comment on my blog.

I have left out the identity of the reader because he/she may like to leave a comment on another food storage blog in the future, and I wouldn't want to be involved in any negativity towards him/her as the result of the comment left here, which is as follows:<BR/><BR/>"Sorry to have to leave your blog. Even though I am not gay, after the stance your church has taken on gay (civil) rights I no longer feel that I can read these pages without feeling sick."<BR/><BR/>To the commenter, I would say, do what you need to do, but please start/continue with your food storage. Regardless of what religion you are, you will have to eat, and from what I understand, times are only going to get harder. There are a lot of good food storage blogs out there, so please keep it up.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-1859358421582705242008-11-14T07:53:00.000-07:002008-11-14T07:53:00.000-07:00Ron--Hey, if you can trade some, you'll both have ...Ron--Hey, if you can trade some, you'll both have variety... :) At this point, I would have picked the pinto beans also, though, because I know more recipes to use them in. <BR/>I like to try soups for the variety, too, though they don't always turn out to be repeat items. Ah, well, you can but try, I guess. :) Thanks for your comment!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08264276199843769399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859227664304693752.post-8451965156842250242008-11-13T20:27:00.000-07:002008-11-13T20:27:00.000-07:00Our neighbors and us went to a salvage grocery sto...Our neighbors and us went to a salvage grocery store a few weeks ago... he bought 50 lbs lentils, and I got 50 lbs pintos.

I really had no idea how much you can get from one pumpkin, but I'm glad, because it is quite a lot of food!
