What's cookin'?

I think my social media feeds are 30% cherry clafoutis today. A few days ago they were 30% The Cure.

orecchiette with Mulay Italian sausage and purée of back-yard favas

I was tempted to say “free favas” but when you factor in the cost of the landscaping makeover, the resulting higher water bill, and the monthly gardeners’ visit, they’re probably the most expensive ingredient ever to pass through our kitchen.

sounds like you could use a service charge!

Service charge to myself?

The landscape makeover was a great investment. The favas are just a bonus.

Riverdog green beans looked beautiful but were a big tough, could have steamed for ten minutes instead of seven.

I only use haricot verts or at least skinny green beans.

It’s an image of green beans.

Haricots verts is just French for green beans.

I usually look for skinny Blue Lakes but these fooled me.

I’m lazy. I prefer to have them already separated by size.

I got hungry watching Taco Chronicles: Cruz la Frontera but didn’t feel like leaving the house, so I got some La Finca tortillas out of the freezer and made chili with corn oil, a Kiolbasa sausage, fresh red onion, celery, homemade adobo spice mix, Pomi, and a can of 365 organic Pinto beans.

I am from another world. But you all had so so many other joys we did not. Ice for example… or bananas… or western music
