We got our copy of the Veganomicon and have made our first recipe: black bean burgers. Yes, they were excellent. I’m not going to post the recipe this time, mostly because I followed it right out of the book: think black beans, gluten, bread crumbs, and southwestern spices. I do plan to make some changes [...]

Lima Bean Curry
Tonight’s menu was short-grain brown rice and lima bean curry. My recipe is based on Mary McDougall’s from The McDougall Program. One of the things I love about curries, is that I can really add — or remove — whatever I like. For example, I do not like coriander. So, I took it out of [...]

Speaking of the night before, we saw Ben Folds at the Tabernacle. It was a great show at one of my favorite Atlanta [...]
