Phone advice requested!

I'm on the waiting list for the Droid Incredible, which won't ship until 7/27 :-p

The Droid X is out today. Should I go to the store and get the X and kill the Incredible order?

These are very important questions.

Recipes

for (e:enknot)... I made these for the camping trip. Yum!

Black bean dip/refried beans

2 14 oz cans black or pinto beans
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
2-3 large garlic cloves
1 large onion
1/2 jalapeno pepper
1/4 c. fresh cilantro
1+ t. oregano
1+ t. cumin
1+ t. black pepper
1+ t. sea salt
olive oil

Chop the garlic, onions, jalapeno and cilantro (use the stems, too!). Heat the oil, saute the garlic, onions and jalapeno until the onions are translucent to lightly tanned. Add the cilantro & stir. Add the cumin, oregano, salt & pepper. Add the beans (use the juice - very important or it'll dry out).

For refried beans, mash them up as you cook them. Add the tomatoes and let it all simmer down and dry out. Make sure to keep stirring so you don't scorch them. They should be pretty dry.

For the wetter bean dip, you don't have to mash as much. Add the tomatoes and simmer down until it's a consistency that works with tortilla chips.

Lentil-Chickpea Salad
(from Classic Vegetarian Cooking from the Middle East & North Africa by Habeeb Salloum, p. 117. I highly recommend this cookbook.)

Serves 8-10

1 c. lentils, washed
water (3 c. min) (broth or bullion is nice - i used a mushroom base)
1/4 c. olive oil
1/2 c. lemon juice - that's about 2 fresh lemons worth
1 bunch green onions
3 large tomatoes
1 14 oz. can chickpeas
1/2 c. fresh parsley or cilantro
1 large sweet red pepper
salt & pepper

Cook lentils in water until tender but still intact and slightly firm; allow to cool. (Instructions for cooking lentils.) Drain.

While lentils are cooking, chop the onions, tomatoes, parsley/cilantro, pepper, and juice the lemons. Since it's a salad, you want the veggies pretty small. Put them all in a big bowl, add the chickpeas, salt & pepper and mix. Mix in the lentils before serving.

_______
I think I'm going to make this for a picnic tomorrow. I'll probably add garlic. It has a very clean, mild taste to it.
