Bodacious Bean Salad
It's finals time... is anyone as overwhelmed as me?
UGHH, but then I felt guilty for not updating this blog, and then I ripped my hair out.
And then realized I haven't pooped since Saturday. (It's Monday. I realize that this is normal for some people. Not me. My intestines are like a taffy-pulling machine.)
Anyway, I figured that I needed some fiber, some protein, and something quick and simple to make so I can work on this damned final revision for my writing workshop.
Here's what I came up with:
Mix together in a big ceramic bowl:
One can red beans, drained and rinsed
One can white (Great Northern) beans, drained and rinsed
One half of an onion, chopped (I used white, but red would be better)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 T. chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 jalapeno, diced
3/4 cup chopped celery
1 T. minced garlic
2 T. plus 2 t. olive oil
4 t. balsamic vinegar
A hearty shake of black pepper
Here's what it looks like up close.
You can eat it by itself, dump it on top of a bed of lettuce, mix it with some cooked rice, smear it on top of a sour cream covered tortilla chip... whatever you want!
You should probably pair it with wine or marijuana, you know, if you're stressed.
Did I just say that?!
And if all else fails, and you are just too frazzled to muster the composure to create a bean salad, just go get yerself a nice Chicago-style veggie dog.
And annihilate that shit.
See you after finals.
Love,
Sophia

I love the blog Sophie. Cousin Stu had me check it out....good shit.
I just might have to try your recipes sometime, but I don't eat refine sugar or dairy, so I might have to wait.
Dude, sweet. I will certainly try one of your many delicious looking recipes.
