Luckily, I’ve never had to eat lentils to pay for pet food. I’ve eaten lentils (actually, probably chick peas. I’m not fond of lentils, but curried chick peas are delicious and nutritious) to pay for vet bills in the past. The conceptual problem was mostly a joke. The egg salad needed to either be finished up or thrown out, so an egg salad sandwich was a sensible dining option. It just struck me as funny that she was getting the skinless bonless chicken breast cooked from scratch, and I was getting the leftovers.
No, you definitely wouldn’t want the dogs getting any ideas. I seem to recall that Toby once made a valiant attempt to grab a duck or a chicken or something straight out of the roasting pan. Or perhaps I’m thinking of someone else’s dog. But if it was Toby who had that particular adventure, then he probably already thinks anything edible in the kitchen is up for grabs, without any encouragement from you.
