Beans & Rice Humble, Modest, and Good.

The best thing in the world to eat

     My ultra-favorite things to eat are always easy, simple, and humble. Now you ask what food is humble McDonald's? Nope, I never go there. In my mind a humble food is something that isn’t to big for it’s britches. Now I’ve nothing against highfalutin foods I even like some of them. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for instance. Okay so I’m joking about those. I just really enjoy simpler things. I feel more grounded when I eat that way. For instance beans and rice, in my opinion, are the best thing in the world to eat.

How about we make some today?

The cheapest cooker I could find.

 

     As you can see from the photo’s I love using a rice cooker. I can’t really say which one is the better one. In my research I found the cheapest one and got it.

I use a ½ cup quinoa and a ½ cup jasmine brown rice, then I put two cups of water in (with a little more just for fun).

The beans are simple too. These are red beans from Trader Joe's drained, rinsed, and tossed in the same pot.

 Pretty sweet huh?

All the stuff you need.

     Hey before I forget if you have chicken broth, or veggie broth toss it in. Also garlic is good with everything. Except ice cream. Do that at your own risk.

Then we push the little button down and wait for it to be finished.

     Let's talk about veggies now.

I’m using some frozen veggies which I nuked and then tossed into the mess.

While it’s waiting let's listen to the Grateful Dead 5/8/77. It’s considered among the best bootleg shows of all time. Don’t forget to ‘Smile, Smile, Smile’.

In conclusion we have quinoa (a super grain which has been around for forever), rice, and lovely red beans perfect with frozen veggies and/or fresh ones.

Hey thanks for popping by it’s great to see you. 

That little circle thing is the quinoa.

Oh much better now!

Thanks and I’ll see you next week when we chat about putting the ceiling in the van.

All my best
