Day 3 - Black Beans and Paulaner
After an overnight soak, the black beans are awesome. But I’m sure most of you already knew that, having cooked beans before. Beans and rice for dinner, and assorted combinations of peanut butter, apple, banana, spaghetti, marinara sauce, and coffee.
Oh, and I decided to have a beer. We had a bit of a flood at home. After a good cleanup I had earned a beer. So I’m factoring it in. It was a Paulaner Hefeweizen, and it was delicious. A 12-pack is about $18, so I’m rounding up to $2 for the bottle since you can’t buy individual bottles at the grocery store.
I also got a fantastic deal on apples. Yep, apples. A 5 lb bag of Granny Smith apples at Kroger was just $1.59. Along with some bananas and factoring that beer, I spent about another $4.20, bringing my total to $13.26. That’s $16.74 to go, and plenty of beans, rice, bread, PB, apples, and coffee to go. Time for some more creative meals, especially after seeing yet ANOTHER day of awesome meals from the other folks.
