In the Buffs! A Monday Story

Matt had a bunch of these “buffs” a while ago but when his Dad came to visit, he gave Matt this one from Ghana.

They’re quite cool. It’s a tube of fabric with no seam that can be worn a ton of different ways… not to mention they make cute headbands. Love it.

So what have I done today you ask? Not much of anything. I was informed at 7:00 that my supervisor was calling in so I didn’t have to go in to work today. So now, I’m in the process of making “Good Luck Soup”…. I’ll post the “proper/complete” recipe here if you ask for it. Basically, it’s just a bunch of dried beans soaked overnight add your choice of meat (it recommends ham hock but I had a bunch of frozen beef left over from the wedding that we used) and water boil for 2 - 3 hours, add salt, pepper, lemon juice, etc. Boil for another 1/2 hour + and it makes a great dinner. I’ve never tried it yet but I’m using my crockpot so it will simmer/boil for longer than it says. We also chose to add rudabega aka swede to it (which Matt tells me is like a potato?)

I’ll probably be adding more veggies later on since I’ve been obsessed with multi-colored peppers lately (so yummy)! Anyways… I hope that your Monday is going well. Have a wonderful week, dear readers!
