Here's another one from the upcoming cookbook. Whether you’re a harrowed stay-at-home mom or Wall St. broker with zero cooking skills, you’ll find yourself whipping up these tasty beans often. They take only about 5 minutes of hands-on time. Pack some in a container for lunch with an extra drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of nutritional yeast. Enjoy a salad or a piece of fruit afterwards, and you’ll have eaten much better than you would have at the food court.

Foster Kitty Update

Buttons is finally thinking outside the box. I disassembled the crate yesterday, so she is now free to roam the apartment. Currently, she only ventures out to snoop at night. Progress is definitely slow, but she's 100% better than when she was staying in the bathroom. I had to laugh the other day when she kicked Pablo off the top of their little green tower– she has some feist in her after all. Here, Buttons and Pablo make nice and share the tower [She's inside]. Get your dibs in quick if you're interested in adopting this sweetie!


Here's Pablo, mesmerized by last week's snow fall. [For some reason, Bossa Nova never took to sitting on the windowsill.]
