Lentils
Posted by The Proverbs Wife on July 07th, 2008 in Uncategorized
The Phliosepher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived confortably by flattering the king.
Said Arisstipuss, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils”.
Said Diogenes, “Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king”.
The Song of Birds by Anthony de Mello

I love lentil soups, too. I make them a lot during the fall and winter. Yellow split pea is one of my favorites.

It’s split pea soup around her for lunch today. How coincidental is that! It’s one of my son’s favorites. Good, cheap, & nourishing.
