Debate, massive piles of work, dinner

I tried a recipe for lentil soup tonight, as well as a recipe for Frittata

Spiced Red Lentils
Heat coconut oil or ghee in a pan, add diced onion and minced ginger, brown about five-seven minutes over medium-high heat, add turmeric and chili powder for about one minute, then add washed red lentils, and cook over low for 30-40 minutes. It is important to cook the lentils over quite low heat - nothing more than simmering. Here is the part I particularly like - take a ladle and add coconut oil, butter, or ghee, add cumin and curry powder and toast over an open burner about one minute, add minced garlic for one minute more, then dunk it into the lentils until the steaming sound ends. Add yogurt and salt. Notice I added no amounts here, because this is mostly the beginning of these recipe enterprises, and is more for my own documenting than for your pleasure. . . but I shall "season" in time.

Frittata
If making Frittata, don't just scramble the eggs then stick them in the oven if your recipe is two parts like mine. Instead, follow the recipe closely, if you are not yet a solid cook such as me. This recipe didn't work, but I will give it another whirl later.

Obama wasn't clicking like he did the last debate :( But I think it was a good debate, as these have been so far.
