EVENTS THIS SPRING

Hello Readers,

It's SPRING, and after finally emerging from a mind coma, lo and behold, I'm noticing that THINGS are GOING ON.

For example ...

TONIGHT, 7-9 PM: Broadway Bicycle presents the work of artist Christian Monroe at a right-sized (you'll know what I mean if you attend) season opening of the Door 3 Gallery.

APPRECIATION

Major thanks to all who hosted, helped with, and attended my show, "Can't Be Shy Here."

Go Team.

Victory: Dinner

Tonight's one-bowl meal was composed, COMPOSED, of the following five ingredients:

1 block of frozen, shredded spinach.
1/2 can of black-eyed beans
1/2 can of roman beans
6 diced maple sausages
frozen, cut green beans (enough to balance out the spinach)

Defrost how you will the frozen items, add in the beans, heat till it sort of gloms together (thanks, spinach!) and till the remaining liquid has been steamed off. While this is happening, add the following seasonings:

ground black pepper (typical table will do)
jamaican jerk seasoning
a drizzle of maple syrup

Done. Healthy. Delicious. Tomorrow I will add wheat noodles for the extra carb benefit. I might also add cinnamon (a surprisingly tasty addition to beans with veggies).
