Episode 5: You can't go wrong with "Lentil Soup"

After a day of carbs, or should I say weekend of carbs, it was nice to look forward to lentil soup and low calorie bread for dinner.  Aliya made delicious yellow lentil (Lens culinaris) and mung lentils (variety with husk/skin removed, served with good ol pickle and green peppers.  The lentils were topped with Aliya's signature oily bhagar (tiny chopped onion, garlic and ginger sauteed in oil).

It is one of my favorite foods, love the taste and its not so bad esp with all that protein in it.  Going with the health theme, we had fresh Apple/Carrot/Kale/Ginger/Lime juice with our meal and not so healthy side of Pakistani pickle swimming is red oily oil :P

Today's dinner entertainment was an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond".  Nothing like watching a comedy show about a couple going thru daily life and arguing about pretty silly (& serious) things.
