New food of the month...sort of

 






Mayocoba beans!


I really wanted cannelini beans but this is what the grocery had.  A little smaller than pintos and they didn't shed their shells as badly.  Tasted exactly like a great northern to me and certainly prettier.






And a cooking adventure although at the time it felt a little like Frodo and Sam's quest.  For me, Mango Tofu Raisin Curry.

It turned out good but no spice at all!  I helped it out with a little Sriracha.


 For Ed that crab-shrimp fettuccini I make and a strawberry dessert that was supposed to make bland, insipid supermarket strawberries taste like heaven.  Hint: it didn't.
