The Streak is Over

Twelve days ago Alison decided to learn how to rehydrate black beans, because she had never done it before. It turned out to be a major success. After a night and a day of soaking beans, we ended up with enough beans to run a Taco Bell for a day. As a consequence, we've eaten black beans at least once a day for 12 straight days. This is a personal record for both of us. I killed the last few off today with some cheese and salsa. It kind of looked like this:
I know that this may not seem extraordinary to those who have spent time with our neighbors to the south, but I'm still really proud of it.

I'm so glad you are eating better than I did in grad school - I lived on popcorn and diet coke. However, there were times we had sea bass, oysters, scallops, crab, shark, and grouper - all stuff we were studying.

so sorry to have missed you at Thanksgiving - however, I had a great time in HI.
