I like to make a red lentil stew with the African spice mix berbere. A little sautéed onion and garlic, tomato paste, salt, and stock and you have a great stew in about 45 minutes. Lentils give all the satisfaction of slow cooked beans, but in a fraction of the time. I love them! I love the idea of grinding lentils to use as a crust; I will give that a try.

Thank you Em, that's incredibly sweet of you. I don't know why but I really adore those things, and haven't had them in years. While you're at it, find out how to make them!! Yes, that’s it!

The one that I've had in the past was soft and kind of like sweet mochi with very strong cinnamon flavor. So, is it this? http://www.yatsuhashi.co.jp/introduction/index.html It looks like it should be easy to bring over to the states too. Of course! :)

Do you happen to know those insanely delicious (and addictive) cinnamon crisps that are a specialty of Kyoto?? Everyone sells them along the tetsugaku no michi. I don't know what they're called in Japanese, maybe something like "yatsuhashi?" I'd KILL for some of those, but ONLY if it's easy to get! That’s so sweet of you, thank you Em!
