milk is good nutrition but so boring to drink. so i make yogurt, one gallon at a time. sometimes strain it and get whey on the side, or if i accidentally overheat it i get quark instead of strained yogurt. i plan to move into cheese at some point, and maybe get a milk goat and/or miniature cow (ha! miniature cow! but they exist).
i just used some yogurt to make mashed potatoes. because it made them sour i added chili pepper paste and it was awesome-- a bit like the base for causa limeņa.
this is a photo of a causa limeņa:
it's a mashed potato bound with lime, hot pepper puree and oil instead of milk/butter. then stuffed with seafood etc. served cold.
i didn't go that far but more like a hybrid which with a hardboiled egg was plasant on a regular tuesday.

for hot weather boil them with garlic and thyme and let them cool-- not too much water to make soup not too little that it toasts instead. between 2-3 times the height of water vs. lentils on the pot (no need to presoak).
then use them for salad with shallots or red onions, olive oil, hardboiled eggs, tuna maybe, anchovies, etc.? side of potato? serve it on some romaine?

turn up heat... add water (or stock if you have).
cook it till lentils are soft... mix it
season with salt, cayenne, and lime or be funny.

ginger and cilantro and lime i've never used with lentils... great suggestions! that would make a good salad too. with roast chicken maybe? with lean pork slices? bit of soy sauce on the pork or no?
