I don't know why, but I've always sauteed my lentils a bit before adding water. I think that's how I saw them made the first time and never bothered to look up a different recipe.

I heat up oil (olive, whatever...).
Cook onion in the oil until translucent. Maybe throw some fresh chopped garlic in.
Add all my lentils into the oil and onion and stir til coated with oil.
Add all of the spices in (depends on what flavors I'm going for: cumin, turmeric, garam masala, etc). mix until the spices get a little toasty and smell fragrant and amazing.
Then add water and cook until tender.
Add more spices as wanted/needed.

Anyone else do this??? Never had a complaint about tough/chewy/anything lentils! So I guess I'll continue on!

Sheesh! Organize your books in a manner that works best for you!
If you can color organize your books and still find everything, it will look great! Go for it!
If you prefer your books in alphabetical order--go for it!
If you'd rather just shove things on your shelves all willy-nilly (my personal style)--go for it!
Doesn't mean you read your books any more or any less.

Honestly, if you want to judge someone based on their treatment of books--go after that "celebrity" Lauren Conrad for hollowing out books for decoration: http://www.lovelyish.com/767423847/hit-or-miss-lauren-conrad-guts-out-books-to-decorate-a-box/
