4.22.2004Beans, Glorious, BeansThis could almost be called the bean blog. I mentioned my very tasty bean making. For those wondering, I prep my Bean Mix using the Hot Soak Method. Then, I cook 'em in vegetable broth, a good spoonful of minced garlic and a tea ball full of the bean soup herb mix in Crescent Dragonwagon's Dairy Hollow House Soup & Bread: A Country Inn Cookbook  posted at 10:36:00 AM 4.21.2004Cool, Shiny, Recycled ThingsVia Mimi Smartypants, here's a darn cool site/company/idea! Recycled Glasswork's dinner plates from outmoded traffic lights! Brilliant. posted at 9:51:57 PM 4.20.2004Food = 1, Cleaning = 0I am doing a abyssmal job at April's spring cleaning missive. Cleaning, or lack thereof is one of my weakest traits. But I can happily report that January's focus of joining a CSA and learning to love my pantry is going fantastically! I've only gotten groceries twice so far this year (just got a the second pantry-filling order from Peapod yesterday), plus CSA half-shares every other week or so. Yeah, every so often I buy a dinner or some candy, but food-wise my life has definitely simplified and gotten more frugal. Hooray for that! On that front, I've learned to make some very,very tasty beans - so tasty I get giddy like I'm eating green tea ice cream! Last time I put great spices in my beans and felt like I had debris in it. This time I put the spices in a tea ball and it turned out perrrrfect! Go me! Next food related mini-goal, make a healthier basic baking mix. I hate to admit I'm a big fan of Jiffy baking mix - it's cheap, fast and easy. I only hate to admit it b/c it's the epitomee of white, refined food. I never claimed to be a bon vivant. I wish I was, because it's such a darn cool sounding phrase. [cracking the whip to get back to cleaning!] posted at 10:28:17 PM |
