[CS-FSLUG] OT: Culinary question ;)

[Eduardo Sanchez]

Hi Listpeople,

This is a completely off-topic request so feel free to disregard it. I'm 
writing specifically for U.S. members although if someone from elsewhere 
can come up with good suggestions, that would be appreciated.

The problem is that I should help a little bit more to the Mrs. in the 
kitchen department. Since I have type II diabetes, I have some specific 
food that is recommended as part of my diet.

This is what I need. For some products, I remember that during my stay 
in the U.S. I could purchase them from the supermarket. In the package 
there was a simple recipe on how to prepare them.

Therefore, I am asking if you please can copy me the "package recipes" 
of the following food items:

* Whole grain rice
* Lentils
* Split peas
* Beans

I remembered that the recipes there were simple, effective, and 
convenient.

Here, popular wisdom says that if you are to prepare beans, you must 
leave them in water overnight. I don't want to do that. I remember that 
in the packages for beans there was a simple recipe that allowed me to 
have cooked beans in a matter of hours/minutes instead of leaving them 
overnight.

Likewise, I remember that the whole grain rice recipe allowed for good 
water absorption, something that I have been unable to achieve here.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and blessings,


Eduardo
