Goodbye January. I took two days off, but that doesn't mean I'm a failure or that I should throw it all away...I just wish some of the meals had turned out better. I'm still a bean believer.
Sunday's lentil and cheese casserole was ok, but the rice didn't cook enough. And Tuesday's black bean soup was bland and undercooked too. I kept cooking it and added a lot of Frank's so it actually wasn't bad for lunch today. Oh wow, today was a double bean day. Made a ragout of onions, peppers, seitan, tomatoes and white beans served over whole wheat wooden shoe pasta for dinner and that will be good for lunch tomorrow.
I know what you're thinking...what about Monday? Well, Monday was TAD day (bonus!!!) and the husband won a project. So we went out for dinner. Had this great cocktail called The Last Word. Made with chartreuse, gin, and something else...good... Reminded me of my favorite Zingermans Roadhouse drink, Corpse Reviver 2. Husband had something with raw egg in it...what a risk taker! The bar tender we recognized from two other places around town that we have frequented ( one is closed now). And we ran into one of my WICs. Maybe we really are townies. Anyways, I have these wasabi soybeans in my car for emergencies and had some on the way to dinner.
Bean There done That
