Lentils and sausages from my cupboard (saucisses lentilles de mon placard)

Some weeks ago, I decided to stop watching TV or internet news.

We’re living in a communication world now, which is a wonderful thing.We know almost everything that happens at the other side of the world.

But now, for my mental security, I can’t accept anymore to be drawn under bad news torrents.

I don’t know how it is in your country. It seems that journalism now is just made to make you cry on all the world disasters.

I’m just fed up about politician lies, job losses, manipulation, massacres, climate mess, pollution, rapes, bombs …

My husband uses to call me "blotting paper", because I’m unable to stand back with an information.

And you would agree with me, journalism talk much more about bad than good news.They are always focalising on bad events than on good ones.

What does it means ?...

Does it mean it never happens beautiful things through the world ?

Does it mean people are only cruel and uneducated and stupid ?

Does it mean all those great persons who save lives, humans or animal, who live for right fight… no need to talk about them ?

Does it mean  kind people are uninteresting ?

Does it mean only awful news and monsters are worthy to be famous in the world ?

I can’t change all that.
I’m just happy with my children, my husband, my family, my friends, we’re all healthy, everything is fine, so no… I don’t want to let black news go into my head and heart anymore !
I’ll become uncultivated, ignorant, I’ve got no problem with this !
I’ll be a happy stupid
You know this sentence : blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
I want to be a poor in spirit !! The best on earth !
I’ll be the happiest poor in spirit in the world ! …
I just want to make Cyndi Lauper my BFF ! I just want to have FUN !

So I said STOP ! And for sometime, everything went fine ! I felt better. I had to prevent myself to read internet news, because I was used to. But I succeed. No more emotional pollution ! I was free !

Then, my friends informed me about the Pope’s resignation, the fall of meteorites in Russia, the scandalous of horse meat in French and English food…

Ok, guys, you're right ! Just keep on without me !

Here's a very simple and incredibly flavorous recipe. I call it "from my cupboard", because you can cook it with fresh products but also with cans and frozen products. What I did. 

You'll need, for 4 persons :

• 4 sausages.
• 1 kg of lentils in can. Of course, you can use dry one, that you'll make soak one entire night. 
• 200 grammes of lardons or bacon. 
• the equivalent of 2 fresh carrots, but frozen, for me.
• 1 onion
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 cups of chicken or veal stock.
• 2 bay leafs. 
• Olive oil. 

Step 1 :
Now you know it, everything begins with onion, garlic and olive oil ... Let them brown. 

Step 2 : 
I made a mistake, don't do it ...
Cook your sausages in another pan and let them grill. You'll add them at the end to the dish. No problem.

Add all the ingredients except lentils and veal stock. Let all brown a little while.

Step 3 : Then pour lentils dripped with veal/chicken stock, bay leafs and stir all that. Let it cook for 5 minutes and add your sausages. 

Step 4 : 
And finally, grilled sausages. Let it cook 5 minutes more. With frozen and canned products, it takes 30 minutes. 

Bon appétit !
