That's a pretty good salad, but lately I have been using lentils to make soup. I made a Sausage and Lentil Soup which was my own "interpretation" of a recipe which I read online. You need:

1 cup split red lentils
2 TBSP Olive Oil
1 medium onion, chopped
½ cup celery chopped
½ cup carrots chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
¾ pound spicy Italian sausage or Chorizo sausage- both are good.
48-54 ounces of chicken broth ( I used College Inn)
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp smoked paprika

Soak and thoroughly rinse red lentils using a large strainer and then set aside.

Add olive oil, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, and raw and skinned, chopped sausage to a large pot and sautee them until onions are translucent and sausage is browned/cooked.

Add chicken broth, salt, smoked paprika, and then finally the rinsed lentils.

Bring to a boil, and then cook at medium to medium low heat for 30 minutes, at least. Lentils should fall apart and be soft. The soup should have a thick, stew-like consistency.

Use more or less veggies and sausage as per your taste and whether you want it more stew like or soup like.

Enjoy! (Pics below are vegetarian version of this soup with no sausage)

That looks like it would be delicious on a cold day like today

I realize that in Quebec, Yellow Split Pea Soup is a thing, and maybe I will try the following recipe with the Yellow Split Peas some time, but today I made the above with Green Split Peas, which we favor here south of the border, and the following additional recipe variations:

- I used a combination of spicy Italian sausage, Chorizo and Ham Hocks for the soup meat
- I added one large chopped parsnip
- I soaked the peas in cold water overnight as per the suggestion on the bag they came in
- I held off on salting the soup until I see how much saltiness is added from the sausage and ham

It's still cooking and will be for quite some time, so we will see how it comes out.

I like the charred appearance as well. I can't tell if it's a flank steak or what the cut is.

Last night, I had a Flank Steak Pad Ped at a local Thai restaurant and it was great. Served with a sauce and very tender!
Steak at a Thai restaurant?! I'm curious about the sauce lol

From Google AI:
Pad Ped sauce is a savory, spicy Thai stir-fry sauce characterized by red curry paste, fish sauce, palm sugar, and often a splash of coconut milk. It is used to create a "stir-fried spicy" dish, typically cooked with aromatics like garlic, chili, and kaffir lime leaves for a fragrant, concentrated sauce.

Tried rolled ice cream yesterday. I could probalby eat enough of it that it would kill me. Might be worth it.

oo what is this / where did you find it?
I had it in Kingston but it's all over the place. They make the ice cream (you choose the kind) really thin on a cold flat surface and then role it into little scrolls, so you get a cup of these scrolls and then put on whatever toppings you ask for, its crazy good. definitely some places in Montreal that serve it.

I've eaten some at the Premium outlet (in Mirabel ...) but closer to Montreal inside T&T, the Asian supermarket, at Hi Yogurt, during the weekend they open a rolled ice cream stand. Though not sure if they continue doing it.
