Impatient for a Grit

Grits smothered in chickpea and hen of the valley.

Hen of the valley is a mushroom I recently tried, if you don't have them, just use mushrooms you can find.
Cook some grits to your liking, cover and set aside.

Put 1 TBSP oil and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes in a pan and heat it up, then add about a cup of sliced or diced mushrooms, and about 1 cup cooked garbanzo beans (chick peas).

Sprinkle in some garlic, back pepper, onion, smoked paprika, and salt; if it gets too dry, add 1/2 cup bean cooking water, and 1 tsp "butter"). Cook it back down until you get the sauce texture you want.

Serve immediately. Dish the veg's on top of the grits.

Husband missed shrimp and grits, I thought this was an interesting way to hit that note.

Impatient Pantry of Another

So, after 2 hotels, and a rental, we are now in our final rental while the new home is being built.

The food was a bunch of alternative flours (sorghum, almond, coconut, fax, wheat, white, corn, and brown rice), nuts (pecan, hazelnut, almond, pine, and walnut), grains (barley, quinoa, oats, Irish oats, wheat berries), and miscellaneous other things like all the spices and herbs, 64 oz bag of frozen strawberries, amigos, apple cider vinegar, agave, molasses, honey, sugar, pumpkin, evaporated milk, kefir, teas, onions, few frozen veggies, a vat of coconut oil, and a handful of other things. Just made a vegan lemon pound cake to go with the strawberries. Did two batches of naan with the kefir. Fruit and nut energy bars with chocolate on top. Chili, brownies. Hummus and a bell pepper dip and

Impatient Training and Reboot

Husband decided that he wanted to learn to cook (without having to follow silly recipes). The first weekend was a basic yeast bread. Second was a jewelled, vegan rice (tvp, rice, seasoning, pistacchios, broth, dried apricots, raisins, onion, tomato, red bell pepper). Third, I ended up with strep throat, but had pulled out a pork roast to thaw-gave him written directions how to use the dutch oven with coal for the piece of meat- how to preheat, etc, outside. Pulled out seasonings for him to use his own judgement on so he can gauge seasoning use. Everything has come out pretty perfect! Never having had strep before, it has been/is still an interesting thing to go through. The first day I just thought it was monthly issues, then 3 am I began throwing up. By the second days' evening, my throat was sore and swollen, I pretty much figured I would die before my 21 year old cat. On the third day I went in to see a doctor because I realized it wasn't allergies and found it hard
