February Photo Challenge: Days 6 and 7
Day 6: Dinner
Don't let the fact that my husband described this original recipe as "not as bad as expected" and "edible" deter you. I thought it was a delicious, easy, and healthy vegan soup.
Aduki Bean, Rainbow Swiss Chard, and Wild Rice Miso Soup
3 cups vegetable broth
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 small onion, diced
5-6 leafs and stems, rainbow Swiss chard, sliced into one-inch strips
1 can adzuki beans, rinsed
Wild rice, prepared according to package directions
2 tablespoons brown rice miso
Nori sheet (optional)
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Saute onions and carrots in small amount of olive oil.
Add onions, carrot, rinsed beans, and cooked wild rice to vegetable broth. Heat over medium-high until carrot is tender (about ten minutes)
Add Swiss chard and simmer lightly until tender (around ten minutes)
In a separate bowl, dissolve miso in a few tablespoons of the hot broth. Reduce heat and then add to soup, taking care not to boil the miso.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Snip pieces of nori on top of soup to garnish, if desired.
Day 7: Button
Can I also title this: "buttons I hope never to push"?

Santa Barbara: A Love Letter
Dear Santa Barbara,
How did I go almost 32 years without knowing about you? I loved spending four days last weekend with you.
I love your sandy beaches.
I love your low-seventies temperatures in January.
I love your sunsets.
I love your sushi restaurant, Arigato Sushi where I ordered this delicious Pretty in Pink roll. Twice.
I love your very old fig tree.
I love the wineries just to your north.
And I love that you are only a two hour flight from Seattle. Until we meet again, Santa Barbara.
(Thanks KR, for getting us out of town and into the sun for a little while. xoxo.)
