Spoiler Alert: power tools!

Now that it has become clear that I am going to be in the Twin Cities a while, I have been nesting, or my version of nesting. Mostly this has meant making a place for me to easily yoga (and dance) in my apartment. However, it has developed into more - power tools, plants, mediocre carpentry skills. 

I am fueled this afternoon by four cups of coffee and the most delicious cooking mistake I have ever made. Hopefully, before too long I will have something to show off.

  2. Adjoa-

    I soaked lima beans waaaay to long before cooking them (nearly 30 hours rather than, say, the normal 6-8). When I finally did cook them they got very soft very quickly.

    So I added garlic, balsamic vinegar, and a little olive oil and mashed it all together making a lima bean puree. It was delicious! I used it like hummus, re-fried beans, and as a stand alone side. This week I tried to recreate the mistake with fava and lima beans together. Didn't work out quite as well, but still good.

    Any bean tips?
