A very nice blog reader sent me a link to this video:
And I made this salad for dinner tonight. It was delicious!
Edamame Beans
July 16, 2011 · by
Edamame Beans are an unripened soybean . . of sorts. I love all types of beans but I really love these. McDonald’s puts a few of them in their Asian salads and that’s the reason I keep buying those salads. While at Wal-Mart this morning . . don’t ask me why I was at Wal-Mart on a Saturday but I was there . . and I looked in the fresh veggie section, where they have snow peas in bags and they didn’t have the edamame beans but they did have them frozen.
These are a product of China. I can’t help but believe they could be produced here since soybeans grow so well here. Maybe when I have a garden again, I’ll see about growing some.
I made a salad with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, deli ham, edamame beans, toasted almonds and Asian salad dressing. It was every bit as good as the salads from McDonald’s so now I’ll be making my own at home where I can put as many beans on there as I want! I would have taken a picture of my salad but I was so darned hungry after the morning at Wal-Mart, I gobbled it down before remembering to take a picture.
A Few Skeins of Yarn
July 16, 2011 · by
The mailman just dropped by and left me a little package. Since I’ll soon be moving and will possibly be kinda homeless . . living in a hotel without a real address, I keep feeling a desperate urge to order yarn while I have an address.
Last week when I was winding the Madelinetosh Tosh Sock yarn into a cake, I was reminded what a fantastic feel that yarn has. I figured the Composition Book Gray would make good man socks . . maybe a Christmas gift for some of the many men in my life — Vince, Chad or Dad. The green is Seaglass and Eat, Sleep, Knit shows that as a discontinued color. Not sure if it’s one they’re no longer carrying or if Madelinetosh is discontinuing it and I surely didn’t want to miss out on that gorgeous green. The brown is Fig. Seems like every time I try to order it, it’s out of stock so I grabbed two skeins of it.
This afternoon I’m going to wind these into cakes and add them to the “carry with me” bag so I’ll have plenty of knitting options while separated from my stash.
