Black Bean Soup with Sweet Potatoes

The other sweet potato had started to turn, so I had half the sweet potatoes I need for this. It was pretty good. Made better by the yogurt addition (recipe stated).

Angry Pig Fried Rice

Modified. Shannon doesn't like Tofu, so I axed that out and added more snap peas (replacement to snow peas). This wasn't super angry, but it was pretty good. Easy to make and an example of good process. Cooking the eggs separately so they present better in the rice. Good things.

Garlicky Spaghetti with Lemon and Pine Nuts

bright lemon flavor, some savory and some deliciousness overall. Lots of pans to use, but quite good and simple. Normally, we would've Just had this, however since we are trying to be better, a little mixed greens salad (I cannot wait to get greens from dirt and Iowa again).

French Style White Bean Stew

Delayed!

We went to Baru 66 after a long absence. 6 Course menu, all good things. The thing that stood out for me was the butternut squash puree. It was stunningly good. Don't get me wrong, there were several moments in the meal where I got the wonderful feeling of this is amazing (I'm guessing my body releases endorphins, cause it's a rush), but the butternut squash puree left me pondering for quite a while.
