lentil chili

with the unfortunate resurgence of winter, it's good to have some hearty chili on hand.  i followed a recipe, but added chickpeas, extra spice, and added an additional can of creamed corn (an disappointing label change from about a year ago).  i found that more time was needed to get the lentils to fully soften, so plan in extra time.  in total, the recipe recommends 45 minutes of cooking, but give yourself at least an hour for cooking.  in the mean time, see if there are any good movies playing on tbs.
