Yes, I am doing okay; no, I will not be at BSCF due to Purim; yes, the stuff issue is still problematic; no, I am no longer in a burning rage, just a smoldering one.

Recipe of the day:
- take a handful or two of kamut, soak in cold water overnight
- in the morning, add a handful or two of mung beans, more water as necessary, keep soaking
- drain and rinse
- add a handful or two of barley, water/stock (I used about half water, half chicken broth) at about three times as much as the grain, a number (I used four, could've used much more) of cloves of garlic cut into chunks, a dash of salt, a dash of white wine vinegar
- simmer, covered, for about an hour, adding liquid as necessary until suitably cooked
- kamut'n'mungbean'n'barley porridge, SO much better than it sounds!
- and nice and thick, too. bet I could form it into cakes and fry it in butter tomorrow!

Kamut is crunchy and buttery, kinda like spelt but more so.

Yay for the Whole Foods bulk isle.

Off to Purim!

& Happy Equinox!

Roman beans + corn + Isreali couscous + rosemary + olive oil + chicken broth + Yellowtail shiraz = DAMN GOOD BOOZY PSEUDOSUCCOTASH.

Wheeeee!

Mostly because if I had another solid-carbs meal out of a Dunkin Donuts or a Pastaroni box I WAS GOING TO FUCKING YARF.

Next time: fresh basil, fresher rosemary, bell peppers, and a little more broth 'cause the couscous is a bit crunchy. I also want a brown spice somehow, but I don't know which...and of course garlic, which we were out of. (SCANDAL.)
