I want to applaud: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for saying she will submit articles of impeachment against members of the US Supreme Court when the House of Representatives are back in session.

Left Over Beans
What do you do with leftover beans? Added, I overcooked them. URK. All the reviews sang the top praises. I am so disappointed. I used Vaquero beans from Rancho Gordo. They are a beautiful black and white bean. They are cousins to a bean called Anasazi and those beans are sometimes called Appaloosa beans I…… Continue reading Left Over Beans
Quick Fried Rice
Today I wanted to make fried rice, but not spend the time of cooking it. Whoa…a big 20 minutes, right? I remembered buying a small package of precooked rice from Target. Target’s brand is Good and Gather. The brown rice has quinoa, red rice and flax seeds. Yuka app rated it excellent. I hesitated opening…… Continue reading Quick Fried Rice
Love this poem
Black Thumb Garden By Amanda Hawkins Go ahead, let the garden go. Watch and wait and don’t pull a damn thing. Let the mallow sprout on the path, in the bark beneath the citrus, and in the raised beds where there should be beets.

It’s a great day to make a big pot of something scrumptious to eat! Something easy to cook, right? It’s Sunday and WHO wants to labor over…… Continue reading Meatless Stew & Mushrooms
Jessica Gavin’s Chicken Tortilla Soup
I have to post Jessica Gavin’s recipe. I’m pretty sure I saw it years ago in Bon Appetit. I’ve been on Bon Appetit’s site so much, the kitchen is NOW CLOSED. Somewhere I have a hard copy, but am disorganized with recipes. I’ve picked up tons of recipes at farmer’s markets or torn out of…… Continue reading Jessica Gavin’s Chicken Tortilla Soup
Monday BS
Today it feels like a hell of a lot more BS than normal. IS it just me??? Did the stars move into Gemini or what??? People are NOT WEARING masks, either. The powers that be, keep telling us that the new variant is all over and people are going down. It’s contagious as hell. A…… Continue reading Monday BS
