I continued to follow my boring diet, though Kathy had provided some wonderful vegetarian chili for me the night before and combined with the amazing chili experience from Terry’s dinner party, I was in a bean and gas-passing mood.
I stopped at a side job and painted for three hours before going to Heinens for my six-bean chili/soup thing that I make. I like lentils, black beans, kidney beans, chili beans, navy beans and, well, any kind of bean. I bought the cans, grabbed three pounds of ground meat and headed for home.
I diced onions, mushrooms, spinach and fresh garlic and sautéed it all. After browning the meat and spicing it up, I dumped it all into a pan with the beans, tomatoes and two cups of chicken broth. It was a large soup pan, but it was to the lid. After boiling it for ten minutes, I simmered for another twenty and it was ready. Scooping a large quantity into a bowl and grabbing a glass of Almond Breeze, I was ready for an episode of ‘The West Wing’.
So…I ate lots more beans. I live alone and that is a good thing when you consider that I’ve likely eaten a couple of pounds of beans since last Saturday. I did not find the time to do a workout, though it was an extremely active day for twelve hours and, according to the health application on my Iphone, I still managed over 10,000 steps.
