The magical Julie Rex came and made some croquettes with my lentil mesh, and it turned out great! The only thing I did wrong was make the patties too thick. And, we discussed that these croquettes, made slightly larger, would make an excellent meat substitute for hamburgers.
Side note about meat: Something you will learn about me over time is my desire to lessen the amount of meat I eat. Partially because I know how ridiculous it is that Americans eat such absurd amounts of meat, but mostly because I desire to buy meat that isn't full of fatal chemicals and hormones, and that gets expensive. So any way to substitute meat in a meal is a good idea!
Lastly, the excess liquid from the boiling lentils, carrots, and celery made a beautiful broth to make soup in the near future (and tasted amazing mixed in with mushed carrots to make my baby food). Also, I have excess onions, carrots, and celery already chopped from this project, and that, I learned from the soup guru Grace Sullivan, is a great base for many many soups. Stay tuned for that lesson!
