Beans, Beans

I'm on track to break records in bean recipe execution - at some point I must have challenged myself to test the limits of bean variations. Seems endless, but along the way (last weekend) I discovered this guy from Cooking Books. I like the blend of black and pinto, nice compliments, along with the new Mexican chili's. And I used my immersion blender, kitchen gadgets!

I also recommend Clean Food by Terry Walters for more beans, and am highly intrigued by black bean brownies from 101Cookbooks.

Russian Empire circa 1905-1915

I love that these old photographs are in color, sometimes the past feels inaccesible in black and white, but the color here allows you to really crawl into this space and look around.

1491

I'm halfway finished with this book, and highly recommend it as a comprehensive look at native populations in the Americas before Europeans invaded. The text is packed with background on these complex civilizations, and how truly early they arrived - or if they even "arrived" but rather "originated". American studies are often overlooked and rarely discussed, 1491 does a great job of filling this gap.

The Creators Project

Really into how this project showcases super talented and creative people from all four corners, so many to watch! A favorite below, we actually saw some of their Basel work in Miami.

Weekend Cooking

I'm planning to revisit this butternut squash and chickpea salad this week, over quinoa with tahini dressing. Yes please.

And Whole Living is blowing my mind with sammie ideas!

Sub City New York

I wish exiting the subway was this peaceful, I'm usually stressed and light headed from running up a zillion stairs. The short "is about that moment in New York when you emerge from the subway and find yourself in a new and sometimes unexpected world." Not to ruin it, but that elevator? Someone most likely peed in there and called it home.
