Recipe of the day
I have taken to making my own black bean "hummus"--loosely defined. Here's the recipe 'cause it's yummy and healthy and practically free to make. I eat it on a big ol' sandwich that would make Mollie Katzen proud, with some sprouts and tomatoes and avocado.
You need--
can of black beans
a clove or two of garlic
salt
olive oil
balsamic vinegar, or lemon juice, or lime juice--basically, something acidic
chipotle chile powder (optional, but awesome)
Throw the beans, garlic cloves, pinch of salt, drizzle of olive oil, even smaller drizzle of vinegar, pinch or two of chile powder in a food processer and blend. OR smoosh everything together with a fork or potato masher, making sure to pre-smoosh the garlic in a mortar and pestle or garlic press. The secret is that it's actually better if you smoosh vs. food process it.

Not sure if I mentioned this in DC, but a few years ago on a roadtrip I was in a pinch for breakfast. So I poured some mixed nuts into a plastic cup, and fetched a can of (diet) orange soda. The two go together surprisingly well. Especially with macadamias. This is now my breakfast most days - great for cars, and very filling.
