Rain In LA ~ Easy Black Bean Dip ~ Saturday's Football ~ Sunday's Football ~ Bruiser ~ 9-11 Rescue Dog ~ Doormat ~ Veggies/Crab Flavored Seafood/Cheese Sauce

Good very foggy 37º morning.  Sun predicted for today. I hope! Yesterday was just gloomy all day...

 

Received this from George Bachmeier (LASD ret).. seen it before but still makes me laugh! Rain in Los Angeles! Earthquakes, eh.... , but rain? Scary!

Another idea for a football watching snack:

Easy Black Bean Dip

 

This from Eating Light.... Yummy and good for you!

 

2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup grated carrot

1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Place beans in a food processor, and pulse until almost smooth. Combine the beans, carrot, and the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl, stirring until well blended. Let stand 30 minutes. Serve at room temperature with baked tortilla chips.

Later I unwrapped the new doormat I got Friday. What a great greeting for the front door!!!!

 

Dinner last night.... broccoli, snap peas, carrots, spinach ... a little water in the bottom of the pan and olive oil drizzled over, lid on, steamed for a bit...

Then I added in the "fake crab" (you could use leftover chicken, turkey, steak, roast, etc.... I like this fake crab!) and heated it with a jar of the 3 Cheese sauce....

OMGOOOOOOOD!!!!

 

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.
