Beans, chard, carrots

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, January 6, 2009

THAT'S WHAT IT WAS for dinner tonight: lima beans (see yesterday: but I forgot to mention garlic, scallions, and shallots), chopped chard with bits of bacon, carrots with bits of candied ginger. Not bad at all.

But the big news this week is, Bogman's back in town. I cover whole grains of wheat, oats, and barley with water, bring it to a boil, let it stand overnight; in the morning you've only to heat it thoroughly and it's cooked. Toss in some dried fruit if you like. I stir in some oat bran, too, after turning off the stove, cover it and let it stand while I fix the coffee.
