the box of horrors

So, last night for dinner I made sloppy joes with a twist. Juliann and I have a “box of horrors” in which is a jumble of all sorts of packages of things that we don’t remember (half used bags of pasta, rice, nuts, etc.) and in the box we had two opened and two unopened bags of lentils that came from who knows where. I heard that lentils make a good filler in a recipe when mixed with other meat like ground beef, so I tried half ground beef and half lentils in the sloppy joes. I think I ended up with a bit too much liquid, but it didn’t taste bad—so we thought over all it was a success!! (since you can’t buy buns at the store here, I also made the buns ~ which I was pretty excited about J hee! Who knew I’d have to turn into such a cook!!) AND I emptied the two opened bags of lentils, thus removing them from the “box of horrors” which made it a double success! Hurray!!
