I had an appointment this morning for bloodwork. My doctor’s office is on the other side of town, so I didn’t think I’d get to campus in time to find parking. I thought about just going straight home, without even trying to find a parking spot. I was responsible, though, and I found one, and I went to work. But then? I remembered I hadn’t packed any food or coffee for the day. Sadcakes.

My reward for being responsible? Dry granola with effing raisins, that’s what. I hate, hate, hate raisins. They are the devil’s fruit!

I was out of black beans. How is that even possible? So I subbed in kidney beans. Not bad. Also yellow pepper, tomato, avocado, garlic, and lemon juice. Could use some cilantro or parsley, and maybe some fresh sweet corn, though I tend to think corn is not for human consumption.

Yesterday’s orange bell pepper was delicious. Pretty, too. I love the striations. It was just as crisp and juicy as it looks.

I made dal with an allegedly “mild” seasoning packet from Pakistan. Pakistani “mild” is not entirely unlike the surface of the sun. The flavor is really good, though, so I’ve been eating it as a condiment with tons of plain sauteed veggies. Still OMGHOT, but tolerable.

Just make sure you have plenty of Kleenex nearby, because your eyes will water and your nose will run.

I’m trying cashew milk. It makes the same weird patterns in coffee that almond milk makes. It’s a little doodle-y, no?
