I was in the kitchen tonight making a batch of homemade Lentil soup, one of my specialties, and Alexa was playing Agents of Fortune for me. My youngest son Matthew and his girlfriend and a couple other friends came home to decorate their graduation caps.
After a few songs, Matthew asked if they could play some more recent, new music.
"Sure, go ahead."
After conferring with his buddy, he says "Alexa, play the Guardians of the Galaxy playlist."
"Uh, kids...."

making a batch of homemade Lentil soup, one of my specialties BTW: Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I won't have anything like Alexa in my house - I know the action starts in "1984" with those Big Brother interactive tele-screens already an installed feature in each building, but I reckon that 10 years previous to that, Winston Smith and his friends would have had something similar to Alexa eavesdropping and monitoring their every deed and utterance... #thin_end_of_the_wedge But just to "tangentify" your post slightly for a moment, what's your recipe? All my attempts at lentil soup have been a bit on the bland side unless I chuck a load of bacon or chorizo in there or something...

Pretty simple one, Ralph. Carrots, onions, tomatoes, lentils, potatoes, a little salt and pepper and a few bay leaves mixed with the vegetable broth. I do saute' the carrots and onions in olive oil for seven minutes before throwing them in the mix.
