Lentils with Rice

Ingredients
 - 1 packet green lentils
 - 1 package black lentils
 - 1 package red lentils
 - 1 yellow onion
 - 3 cloves garlic
 - 1 can kidney beans (15 oz)
 - 1 can pinto beans
 - 1 can red beans
 - 1 can diced fire roasted tomatos (28 oz)


Spices:
A LOT
 - black pepper
 - garlic powder
 - white pepper
 - thyme
 - paprika
 - nutmeg
 - oregano
 - basil

Directions
 - Soak the lentils for an hour, discard the water (optional step, I have trouble digesting legumes and this is supposed to make it easier)
 - Add 16 cups of water
 - Chop the onion, add it to the pot
 - Dice the garlic, add it to the pot
 - Rinse the beans thoroughly, add them to the pot
 - Add the spices
 - Cook on medium heat (so it doesn't boil over) until your fiancee tells you it's done. ("I'll know when I see it")
 - Don't cook the rice in the same pot because you didn't use a large enough pot the first time around.

A Little
 - Mustard
 - Cumin
 - Curry
