Cinnamon in chile-d black beans! Is awesome!

2 cans black beans poured over sauteed onions and garlic. Add green chile, salt, pepper. Let bubble and stir. Add cooked chicken if so inclined. Quickly cover with a layer of cinnamon. Stir. Cook s'more. Mash stuff. SO GOOD.

I got taught the delight of cinnamon in beans by a NO native. It really makes the flavor richer.

(I'm probably offending people six ways from sunday with my non-slash interested thing and associated assumptions. It's just...it doesn't do anything for me. Go yay, no problem with it, it just isn't a personal oomph.)

I was just going to champion chocolate covered pretzels, but you already got there. I like chocolate + nuts of some kind. Preferably cashews and sometimes almonds.

Brokeback Mountain? Not going to be sweet. Probably will be salty.

Will try this very soon. Thank you.

I don't mind foods crossing the sweet/salt divide. I love moles which is all about the mash of sweet and salt and spicey.

Oh. I guess if I had to have a third category it would be spicey.

Gonna make me cry? That'll do.

I don't think I've ever had a good mole (I bought a jar of something once, but... yuck). I should try to rectify that at some point.

Spicy and Salty are on the same side of the Divide in my world. But, again, there can be exceptions.

Prolly. Possibly. How easy do you cry?

That trailer broke me. The movie should be something else.

The whole wheat bread I just had a sandwich on was distinctly sweet. Odd.

How easy do you cry?

Um... do want to admit this?

Um, some commercials do it. I've been crying on the way home the past 2 days to NPR. It pisses me off. My tears do shit, so why bother? I'd rather be doing something or writing a check. They come anyway. And yes, over fiction too, though that I give myself more leeway.

Surefire tearstorm is a story of hedgehogs called Dearest Prickles. Or Uncle Whiskers. I'm cheap. Thank god those only live at my parents' house.

I was NOT out that long, but somehow I have a bigass meara. (Edit: On reflection, maybe not actually bigass, but still.)

Happy belated birthday, le nubian!!

How do egg whites store?

Pretty well for a couple of days, Nutty. My favorite thing to make is lemon curd + meringues. Uses the whole egg, is yummy.

ita, if your bread converted to Judaism, it would emerge as a cake on the other side of the circumcision (if it's a male bread) and the mikveh.

Hee!

My position paper on the muffin, with several appendices on improper bagelry, is not yet completed, but whatever the final work turns out to be, it will be dwarfed by the towering achievement of R. Hernandez's stunning thesis Eat A Muffin, Whitey! Truly I shall be but a dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant.

My ass has spoken.

Again with the Hee!

First time I have ever stayed in a hotel by myself, so I am goofily excited.

That's VERY exciting, Robin! I am convinced that the occasional business trip is All Good, even though traveling all the time might be Of The Suck. A hotel room to yourself is a good time.

Put some cinnamon in your chili! It's teh yum.
