[...] Again, I don’t love the color. It is the other half of the hank of silk I used to make the Annis which I ended up giving to Teenuh. She has hinted that she’d take this off my hands too. [...]

A lot of the recipes are cheese heavy but this one just has the dairy added in the end.

I cook the rice separately in my rice cooker (which I love!).

I will try to remember. It doesn’t always photograph well.

It freezes well too, so I can make a pot of it and keep it in hand as a quick dinner later. As quick as heating up a can of beans!

I almost picked up this cookbook from the library on Wednesday (but opted for Jonathan Safran Foer’s Eating Animals instead; I probably could have picked up both, but I had trouble thinking logically with my kids running around and shouting). I’m excited that I can give one of their recipes a try even though I passed over the book! And this sounds like the kind of thing my kids just might eat! Question, though: do you put the rice in the slow cooker, or do you cook that separately?

And another option for using remaining tomato paste: I empty the rest of a can of tomato paste into a freezer bag, squish it flat, and freeze it. Then when a recipe calls 1 tsp of tomato paste or some ridiculous amount, I just break off a chunk. It’s not an exact measurement, but I don’t waste so much tomato paste. I think I got that idea from the blog Fat-Free Vegan Kitchen. I’m not sure, but I want to give someone credit.

Next time you make this, could you upload a photo of the end result?

I make (plain) beans and rice as a staple, about once a week. This recipe is definitely more complicated, but I’m sure it’s also more complex in the tastebud-sense, too.

One of the two things I finished for myself (the cowl) was started in 2008! Scary.

Yes, a felt sewing day is a good plan! I think we should refrain from having it include booze, though, since they all need tiny detail work.

My year was much like yours Bought yarn outside of stitches ( and I wasn’t supposed to) , finished 17 things – including ones not started in 2012 (yeesh) and didn’t finish my felt crafts for Christmas. Maybe next year we should do a crafty day for those felt things!
