Red, White, and Black Bean Salad

Because they have a lot of ears!

And pounds of potatoes

We’re doing a low-country boil tonight! Shrimp and kielbasa in the fridge.

For vegetarian protein, I made a big bean salad.

A Red, White + Blue Black Bean salad!

IMG_1067

I made the black beans from scratch yesterday and added cans of kidney and cannellini beans. Mixed up with cucumber and tomatoes and peppers from our garden

IMG_1068-2

Plus about half a cup of olive oil, a quarter cup of lemon juice, garlic gold nuggets and salt/pepper

I was so thirsty after my walk this morning that water wasn’t cutting it. Coconut to the rescue.

Karen has moved in with us for a week or two as she is currently between rental houses! She wrapped up at her old one yesterday and her new one (downtown!) is in the process of being painted.

I made us both lunch while she shucked corn on the porch

    I’m surprised to see all those corn husks in the rubbish. I’d have thought you and Matt would have a fab compost heap so you could recycle all those nutrients back into your vegie garden’s soil!

      We actually moved them to the compost – Karen didn’t realize we had one in the back!

    Kath, whats the deal with Coconut water? I seem to be hearing a lot about it but I am not sure I get what the hype is all about? Please explain when you have time….party looks like a blast. I hope its cooler there. Its 95′ in Chicago.

    When I was younger, I used to shave the corn off the cob, because I did not like corn stuck in my teeth–and still do not. But over time, I have eaten it on the cob.

    We had a shrimp boil too tonight. It was yummy. Fresh corn is the best. And tonight it was super good. I hope you have a delightful dinner too.

    It’s nice that you have Karen staying with you. She seems awesome.
