Thank you for the birthday wishes. It was very rainy but The Math Greek was here so I was happy to just hang out and watch movies.
I did briefly lament the lack of corn muffins in the house, but I really don't eat chili with carbs anymore.
One of the worst things about the strict lacto-vegetarian nature of my current kitchen.

One of the easier ones I thought. But it leant itself to my new method of identifying the most likely purple "word" first.
I love the salted caramel and churro ones. Cookies and cream is fine. And I do like the coconut ones. Ads in my Facebook feed tell me there's a seasonal pumpkin spice flavor, which would be right up my alley, but I haven't found them.
See, I hate the salted caramel ones! I was disappointed, as I love the other flavors (mint? pretty awesome), and I love salted caramel in general. I don't know what it was about those for me, but I am glad you like them!
I haven't seen the seasonal flavor. Hmm. Time to look online.
Where do you generally get the puff bars, Plei? I’ve only tried from Costco.
Sylvie is there no lacto veg option for corn muffins? Or are you lacking in chili? I never think to make chili but it’s so good when I do remember.
I also need to remember to get vaccinated! Maybe on Friday.

Probably, but I don't really do refined grains in any case.
Skipping a ton of posts. Hi, all.
I got my flu shot yesterday, but still need to get the Covid shot -- my doctor's office didn't have any.
So, I stopped by the grocery store on the way home from work to re-up the granola bars I like (Bob’s Red Mill) and get some of the refried beans I prefer that Costco doesn’t seem to carry, so I was in amongst the canned beans and came across cans of three bean salad! I didn’t know that was a thing. Not that it shouldn’t be, it may be evident by now that I like canned beans of many types so why not the salad? It just never occurred to me as a possibility. I didn’t get any because for one thing it was pretty expensive and for another had canned beans of two of the varieties at home, but I did study the label to find out what the three beans in question were: green beans, kidney beans, and wax beans. So there you have it. I still think green beans, kidney beans, and garbanzo beans are probably acceptable for personal use.
I did splurge on one can of relatively expensive roasted corn to mix with black beans because that sounds delicious. I hope they are worth the extra $2. Although if they are not I suppose it will be easy to resist their siren call in the future
-t, did you ever try the cold corn and green bean salad from the Buffistas' cookbook? It is a favorite recipe in my family.
Ooh I forgot about the buffista cookbook. I should pull that out for some inspiration.
