nature, meals

Sorry for the delay in posting, but it's been a busy week again! (Big surprise!) I enjoyed Liz's solution to my lack of time dilemma . . . she suggested we just move to St. Paul! :)

Anyhow, here are a few pictures from a day hike Dan and I took last Sunday at the MN Valley State Recreation Area:

A few meals from the past week . . .

Cheesy beans and rice with a side of greens:
example
"Mediterranean Baked Lima Beans" from Veganomicon, "Saffron Rice" from Vegetarian Suppers from Deborah Madison's Kitchen, and steamed artichokes:
example
It's nice when the words "I feel like a treat" are met with, "I'll go get ice cream!"
example
"Eggplant and Tomato Gratin" from Deborah Madison, again, with bread and butter:

And to conclude, an awesome picture of my little hobbit-kitty:

Yay--isn't that Mediterranean Baked Lima Beans recipe from Vcon the best?! SO good, right?! Where did you find the big limas? Or are those still the ones I gave you?!

Have fun this weekend!

Courtney, I didn't use large limas -- just regular ones that I found at Kowalski's. (And the jumbo limas you gave me a while back are long gone!)

HayMarket, thanks! I like taking pictures.

Those are some awesome pictures, nothing like visiting nature to recharge your batteries!
I love steamed artichokes, one of my favorite foods!
