I cooked last night, from a recipe found after discussing making pad thai with Ghani. So off to wal-mart I went, only finding a 2-lb bag of beans and no salt pork. Started the "hey-you-forgot-to-soak-the-beans-overnight-didn't-you-dumbass" method of softening the beans and went off to kroger. After a 20 minute search, I found the salt pork, sliced, and it was twice as much as I needed. No biggie, I'll just make a double recipie. Movie store- They didn't have sliding doors on dvd and the one on vhs was taken, so I got "Castle in the Sky."
Back at home, I started fixing up the soup and found that 2 of my 3 onions had gone bad (I'm not really sure how long I've had them.) So I added extra garlic. When it came time for the cornbread, I found that I had extra-protien mix, with the bugs already mixed in. Tossed that.
Started watching the movie, which, after chapter 4, kept skipping so it went straight to the end. !happy. Watched "Bring it On Again" instead. Thank goodness I also picked up a bottle of wine.
In the end, the soup turned out well, but I have way too much of it, and am willing to have a soup bean dinner with anybody if they're willing to help with the cornbread.
