Baked Bean Nachos and Blue Mushrooms


Harvest the benefit of beans! Tootally! They're so fart-out! I've come a long way from the Campbell's Bean with Bacon soup and fried bologna that I grew up eating for lunch. Here's poof:

Nachos, with baked beans for beans. Also involved were avocados, nutritional yeast sauce, fresh tomatoes, sauteed onions with fresh spinach and garlic, green olives, and hot ass sriracha sauce. They all were promptly annihilated after a campsite scouting trip to the woods where I found a blue mushroom. What does it all mean? I think I've found the answer: You should put baked beans on nachos. (squeak)

Japanese Ew-Daun Soup


I have been sitting on some frozen Japanese udon noodles for a while, and decided to make some soup on Sunday. Got some super cheap dried shitakes and wakame. Scored some good daikon (has that ever been said before?) and went to choppin'. This was the first time I've made miso at home. It turned out really really good! Added lots of fresh green onions. The most enjoyable meal I've had since homemade pizzas the day before (See below). The only thing I would change is the use of dried shitakes. Next time I will opt for fresh. The dried ones made my fingers smell.
