Too Warm for Soup!

As much as I LOVE soup, it is so thrilling to find that the weather no longer makes me crave it. Neither of my lunches/dinners were even close to soup but were inspired by even hotter places...

Rice and Beans with Fried Plantains
On the way home from Decatur last Sunday, we stopped at the Willy St Coop (where my husband and I first met) to pick up groceries for the week as our local Keweenaw Coop closes at 5 on Sundays. I hadn't really decided what I was going to make yet (gasp!) and was doing some wandering when I saw a lovely display of plantains!

It should be said here that I am a starch girl, for real. Growing up, my Norwegian blood caused me to do things like put mashed potatoes on my lefse (a thin tortilla made from potatoes)! So of course I love plantains, the starchier cousin of the banana.

I knew right away that we would be eating rice and beans with fried plantains this week. You can too, as I've posted the recipe!

North of the Andes Sandwich
My other recipe for the week was also Madison-inspired.
It is my version of the West of the Andes sandwich from the Weary Traveler and one of the best sandwiches in the world.
I can heartily recommend my North of Andes Sandwich, but if you're in Madison, definitely stop in and try it!

Dinner looked so good last night that the little man was pretty sure he wanted some. Luckily, he doesn't know the difference between dinner and a ceramic bowl.

More Printing Fun

Still obsessed with printing and getting trickier every day! Look for a new tutorial soon. This is an already mutated version of the placemat project from Prints Charming. I used one of their motifs in the center and added my own along the top and bottom. They'll be flanked with upcycled plaid shirt fabric later today. Wahoo!
