No wonder the cashier was peeved with me... 
I just looked at my receipt from the grocery, and I figured that I bought 30 pounds of fruit! 30 pounds!!
Less interestingly, I bought less than 4 lbs of veggies. I'm supposed to be eating 2 pounds a day!
Becky, I'm going to try pinto beans in the crockpot tomorrow. I don't know why I find cooking beans so intimidating, but I do.
Tonight, I actually got dinner together, and lunch for tomorrow. And I've had some sit-around time, and I rode my bike today. All good.
Oh, and the trip to Houston is postponed. That's good, really, but I am a little bummed about not getting a smidge of texmex next week. I really need to make borracho beans -- I wonder if I can veganize them?

Hi VJ --
Thanks for the visit and comment left on my blog. I have been excited to read about your ETL journey, and I'm wondering if we could pull it off over here.
Right now, what I am doing is increasing bean consumption and decreasing dairy -- substantially on both counts.
I know people have issues with making beans, but I think they're pretty user-friendly. Just bring them to boil, and then simmer for as long as necessary. Season later, once they've had a chance to soften. Sometimes they need a little acid to perk up their flavor: a squeeze of lemon at the end or a dash of good balsamic.
Carry on! You're inspiring me!
