I'm enjoying delicious, homemade lentil soup today. We made it earlier this week, and it is especially good on a rainy day like this one. To make it, we mixed a one pound bag of dried lentils with six cups of water in a large pan. After bringing it to a boil, we put the cover on and let it simmer on low for 35 minutes. Then we added one can of Italian style diced tomatoes and one half cup of medium salsa. We also added one cup of veggies leftover in the refrigerator from the night before. They include diced potatoes, diced carrots, chopped Vidalia onion, and one third of a cup of chopped greens. We let this simmer another ten minutes, and then it was ready to serve. It was delicious!

My new book, Dan's Story, is scheduled to be published by mid-September, 2008. I'm getting nice reviews from colleagues who are previewing the book. The book will be helpful to anyone looking for guidance in improving his/her lifestyle. I will also be offering seminars or workshops to schools, churches, or other community organizations wanting good health information. Please contact me via email if you are interested in such a seminar.
