INSTRUCTIONS
It's cooling down here in Alberta, so a group of us organized one last
kayaking trip on the Red Deer River, to be followed by a pot luck dinner.
By 5PM Saturday we were back at camp, with many smiles after being
Maytagged in the river and staring at the fall colours in the valley. My
two-burner Coleman stove, plus a copy of "The Vegetarian Epicure" by Anna
Thomas (recipes modified appropriately) yielded up the following treats:
Douse the lentils with the boiling water, and let them stand, covered, for
about an hour. Chop the onion and celery stalk and saute in veg. broth.
Seed the peppers, cut them into fairly wide strips, and saute with the
onion. Add the vegetables to the lentils, and stir in the salt, broth
powder, brown sugar and basil. Cook over a low flame for about an hour and
a half. Then mix the tomato puree and flour with a little of the hot soup,
and return to the pot. Adjust seasoning, grind black pepper over top, and
serve with hot sauce on the side.

A Message from our Provider:
“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
