Lentil Soup Leftovers

The Chef: Lyndsay and Chas

The Menu: Hearty leftover lentil soup brimming with carrot, green lentils, garlic, kale, celery, rosemary, and onion paired with a simple, delicious leftover salad chockfull of mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, grated carrot, black olives, cucumber, and avocado. Naturally, we rounded out this classic soup-and-salad combo with doughy slices of sourdough bread.

The Goods: If this meal looks conspicuously like our Friday lunch prepared by Chas, it's because it is. Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to our good friend as he left for home this morning, so lets call our leftovers-filled lunch a lingering tribute to Chas—and not laziness. It definitely wasn't laziness. Seriously though, we can't wait until Chas visits the VNHQ again. We miss you Chas! In addition to missing Chas, we also miss lovely Ms. Elizabeth, who is taking the day off to—VN office policy—celebrate her birthday. So, happy birthday, Elizabeth! We can't wait to continue the celebration tomorrow.
