Today's Ojibwe story is a love story. It's a love story like Twilight is a love story and by that I mean filled with power imbalance, deceit, and generally creepy behaviour.

Trying a new yogurt, one that comes in a glass jar. That’s how you know it’s fancy! 🍽️🍜

I keep telling myself that I can do these Satsuma Street ornaments in the lead up to Christmas year after year, but I never do. This year, I’m just going to get them done now! #crossstitch #stitchsky

Hurriedly trying to use up some black eyed peas before freezing—quick salad with sardines and herbs, some tomatoes with balsamic vinegar, and a grocery store baguette 🍽️🍜

Playing the fun game of ‘Do I feel light-headed because I forgot to eat yesterday, or am I getting sick?’ this morning, which is always fun. Either way, gotta have something to build up my strength 🍽️🍜

Leftover greens and black eyed peas from yesterday! My Christmas gift to my friends was a bag of Rancho Gordo peas, so we all shared pictures of our New Year’s dinners with each other last night 🍽️🍜

White bean posole and baguette slices that might have been just a little overtoasted on one side 🍽️🍜

Trying out the bean pudding recipe from the Rancho Gordo website. It’s very fluffy, but even halving it, that’s a lot of bean all at once! Still, it’s worth playing with the recipe and seeing what can be done with it 🍽️🍜

A mishmash of things in the freezer—some pasta, sauce packets from something I probably ate months ago, some frozen veggies with an egg and some peanuts for protein. A quick lunch for a workday 🍽️🍜

Furlough Day! Not feeling thrilled with this day off, but the posole cooked up nice for light brunch. Might add some chicken later, but this was nice and light for an early lunch 🍽️🍜

When I was little, canned chili was way too spicy for me, and my poor parents had to put so much ketchup in it to convince me to eat it without bawling. As an adult, my tastes are a bit more refined, and I’ll even make my own chili sauce for my chili 🍽️🍜

Got some not great news, but hopefully things will resolve themselves soon. Some beans and naan might not fix everything, but having something sturdy for dinner is nice 🍽️🍜

Today I went with some of my friends to help clean up a local park. Tonight’s dinner is a little heavier than I usually prefer, but cabbage is a good reward for a good day’s work 🍽️🍜

My friend gave me some little spinach puff pastries she made, and so dinner was easy! After doing meal prep yesterday, it was nice to have something I didn’t cook 🍽️🍜

Today is big trash pickup and also happens to be a little stormy. All of the noise from the trucks, trailers, and thunder has my dog unsettled and barking. However, I’ve recently realized that he likes watching me in the kitchen, and so instead of having a relaxing morning with a book, I cooked 🍽️🍜

Another quick dinner, mostly from the pantry. This weekend, my friends and I are going on a big grocery run for my birthday, so I’m trying to make room in the pantry/freezer 🍽️🍜

Going through the freezer means finding a couple of field roasts stashed away. This roast is very definitely not ham, texture-wise, but there is something very almost-ham in the taste, and honestly, it was just a bit confusing 🍽️🍜

Quick weeknight dinner—TJ’s kebabs, curried okra, and rice and lentils. I don’t know why I don’t do okra like this more often, it’s a good, quick dinner 🍽️🍜

Sardine butter is a new concept to me. I think more herbs would make this bit lighter, but this is good to have on rotation while it’s still warm 🍽️🍜

Suffered from a big case of the I-don‘t-wannas this morning, but got on track eventually.
I had half a bag of flageolet beans, and decided to try making something with leeks, which are hard to find where I’m at, but maybe I’ll make an effort to find them more often 🍽️🍜

Sometime, I forget how much I like red beans and rice. I’ve been eating off of this pot for a week and have been happy with every bowl 🍽️🍜
