I've made this soup a few times now, and it has quickly become a family favorite. The lentils make it a hearty soup, excellent for cold weather, but the lemon and cilantro lighten the flavor up a bit so it doesn't feel too heavy. It also reminds me of some of the best soups I had when I lived in Turkey, and those folks know what to do with a lentil, so this is very high praise! Thanks for the great recipe!

Tina's Shortbread Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2008

I have been making these for quite some time and people just go crazy for them. There is a slight disagreement amongst my friends and family as to whether they are best pulled out of the oven before the edges brown or whether they are tastier a little more "well done" so I split the batch into two and do half "over", half "under" to satisfy everyone!

Spooky Witches Fingers

Reviewed: Nov. 9, 2008

These were a big hit at the Halloween party this year! I had never made cookies with confectioner's sugar instead of granulated, and I really liked the texture the confectioner's brings to the dough. My two comments are: 1) try to keep your hands cool while you are working with the dough, because it is very buttery; and 2) make sure you make the "fingers" skinny as you're forming them, because they do puff up as they bake - you don't want it to look like your witches are retaining water! :)
