Episode 200: potluck with the neighbours tonight

spicy_salad

Here's what I'm bringing: spicy rice and bean salad. Long grain white rice, black beans, carrots, celery, red pepper, green onion and a crushed clove of garlic. Cut all the vegetables really small so they're not bigger than the beans.

For the dressing: mix up a basic oil and vinegar (I use extra virgin olive oil and a white wine vinegar) and add cumin, cardamon, turmeric, a little bit of nutmeg and cayenne, dried dill weed, pepper and sea salt. When I'm at home I sometimes also put fenugreek or coriander, but don't have my full complement of spices here at The Shack.

In the spring I like to use chopped garlic scapes instead of garlic. Chives from the garden are nice too, if you have them.

Yesterday was apparently the day for people to come to me for really bad ideas. From the search stats:
"knit toilet seat cover in garter stitch"
"angora sweater masturbation"
"crochet pattern for granny square shower curtain"
"yellow tights"

People. Seriously. I don't promote activities that will have such obviously disastrous consequences. You are on your own.

Seriously. A toilet seat cover in garter stitch? Please. Bobbles and cables, on the other hand...

Mmmm, that does look good.

I'm more distressed by the disturbed individual who wants to crochet a shower curtain. That's just wrong, I tell you. Think of the absorbency issues! The mold and mildew!
