Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was. |

Nobody seems more obsessed by diet than our anti-materialistic, otherworldly, New Age spiritual types. But if the material world is merely illusion, an honest guru should be as content with Budweiser and bratwurst as with raw carrot juice, tofu and seaweed slime. |

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety. |

Food Tip |
There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

A 'khoreshe' is a sauce-like main dish, to be served with rice.
'Tareh' resembles leeks, but much smaller, and has a garlic flavor.
In a heavy pan, brown the onion in oil over medium heat, stirring
frequently. Add turmeric and fry for another minute or so. Add
remaining ingredients, stir, and cover. Decrease heat to low and let
simmer until lentils are tender, about 40 minutes. Adjust seasonings
if necessary and serve khoreshe with the best quality of rice you can
obtain; basmati is what I recommend. Wholemeal flatbread is nice
also, especially for dipping into the khoreshe.
Variation: Substitute 1/2 pound of fresh or frozen fava beans for the
lentils. Decrease water to 1-1/2 cups.
