Day 7: What is it with that bean?!

Hey, party people!

So day 7 has come and gone.  I'm really enjoying seeing pictures of everyone elses tacos on Twitter and such. 

Last night we had pretty standard tacos.  I sort of used the Eating Well Taco Salad recipe for the protien, although I used less onion, less garlic, and no sour cream.  Tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, and soft flour tortillas rounded out the tacos.  Chips, salsa, and Whole Foods bean salad finished off the meal. 

It was fine, so far as tacos go.  Basically a Regular Kind taco with turkey/kidney bean protien.  The Whole Foods bean salad stuff was vegan, and Derek pointed out that salt is apparently not vegan, as there didn't seem to be any in it at all.  We added some and it tasted ok.  There were some great-big-huge beans in the salad that (for some unknown reason) sort of creeped me out.  If I had a therapist, I'd totally explore why.

That's what it looks like.  I put it next to a dime (obviously, duh) for size comparison.  Does anyone know what kind of bean that is?  Derek says it's an heirloom bean.  I didn't know that was even a thing.  Then again, I'm no bean expert.  Next: Anyone know why I find them troubling?

Onward.

Magically Erased Hand Update:  Today it's scaly and peeling.  I suspect I'm almost healed.

Next on the taco calendar is the BLT(aco).  I'll probably make something super easy to go on the side, like a mozzarella/tomato salad thing.  The warm weather makes me feel like eating light stuff.  (In this scenario, lets pretend like cheese-based salad and bacon-based tacos count as "light stuff."  At least there's lettuce involved.)

I think I'll stop blogging now.  It's my day off, and I'd like to get my shopping out of the way so that I can properly laze later.  It's warm enough out that I think I'll wear a long sleeve shirt, jeans, and flip flops.  My "dressing appropriately for the weather" philosophy is that it's ok for only one part to be uncovered in order to stay warm enough.  For example, i could wear short sleeves with pants and shoes, or capris with long sleeves and shoes, or sandals with long pants and long sleeves.  I'm pretty sure I learned this philosophy from my mother, whom I become more and more like as time passes.

Ok, my flip flops and I are going to Target now.
