i made a lentil dish from the zuni cafe cookbook last night, which was tasty but MY GOD did it take longer than the estimated cooking time (my big pet peeve). 30-35 minutes was what the recipe said, but after about an hour i was still pushing hard lentils around the pan.

I tasted it a while back, and it's pretty hot. Too hot for my partner. So I added some pureed tomato and a bit more water, letting it simmer further. It's a bit better now, but still maybe too hot. Any ideas on how to tame that?
It's in the fridge now; we're gonna eat it tomorrow, so I figured I'd get the first hour or so of simmering out of the way. These things always taste better on the second day anyway, right? Beans, of course, won't go in 'til tomorrow. And I'm making cornbread to go with it!

Add a little peanut butter - this was a hint from Tep. I don't know what the peanut taste will do, but might be worth a shot. Also, have a glass of milk handy when you eat it (or maybe add a little sour cream) - non-vegan though.

g00blar, how was the chili? Your cornbread looks great (as does your cast iron pan!). I had some of my leftovers for lunch today with tortilla chips - I think it is getting spicier over time.

Aldo that sounds marvellous (as, for that matter does whisky glazed liver, and of course, chili, it's two in the morning. No food now. Gah)

Tried making a mutton and prune tagine last night, but not having one I tried to make it in my pipkin which I'm still trying to get to grips with. As such, it wasn't nearly reduced enough and the flavours hadn't developed properly but it was my own fault.
Dragon fruit is very strange, and not at all what I expected. It's like a far more delicate kiwi fruit, the flesh is scented rather than flavoured, and rather pleasing. The outer parts of the fruit, once the seeds have gone and you're near what would be the pith, have a lovely bitterness that provides a lovely contrast. I would buy one again, but I'm not sure what for.
