This. You can use it back to back a few days and get away with not cleaning it. Then a quick soap rinse takes care of the issue.

It’s one of those “by feel” recepies. I would say 1-2 tablespoon per person. Red lentils fall apart and give a grainy texture, which you may or may not like. Black (or Beluga) lentils come out fine, or maybe a bit al dente, same for brown lentils.

It depends on how long you cook it, I prefer it not very sticky. Longer cooking times will make it a bit softer and more sticky.

If you want to minimize cleanup and effort, just use a rice cooker.

• Costs 30€
• Put in rice and lentils at a ratio of your chosing, cook with oil and salt
• Optionally spices and tomato paste
• Put in frozen veggies either in a steaming basket or directly in the rice
• Chuck in an onion (quartered if you’re lazy) and some garlic
• Yoghurt on the side

Congratulations you now have a healthy, cheap meal you can make at home or at work. If you eat directly out of the cooker you only need to clean your spoon. No cutting board needed either.

Because I don’t want to be forced to adapt by others.

We are all forced all the time to follow social norms. Short of moving to a cabin in the woods, this is inescapable, for better or worse. In this master/main debate it seems like we can make some people happy with minimal cost. In the end it is a tiny irrelevance, when compared to other norms being changed.

“main” is shorter than “master”. “sub” is shorter than “slave”. Why worry about social issues when you can just type less and move on? :)

Bitcoin has a marked capitalization of about 30 billion USD. A S-400 air defense system costs 1.2 billion USD. So you could trade 25 of those systems using the entire “supply” of bitcoin. Russia calimed to have about 450 of these systems before the war. Even if they would use bitcoin for trading military equipment, cryptocurrency simply does not have the volume to pay for a meaningful amount of equipment.

You were the Chosen One! You were supposed to guillotine the monarchs, not dine with them!
