Food Diary

Tuesday Bread and Beans

March 5, 2009 · By Monica Shaw

It’s been a busy week, first with work, then with weird tummy problems that have kept me in sweatpants all day. Ah, but I’m never too busy for bread and beans, two foods which took center stage on Tuesday.

The bread: A loaf of no knead bread baked using wheat flour, wholemeal flour, and whole ryeberries. The result had a nice, soft and light crumb with a delicious crispy crust.

, using some big ol’ butter beans I boiled last week and stashed in the freezer. Seasoned with oregano, thyme, parsley and mint, the baked beans had an Italian flair. They were perfect with the bread. Like glorified beans on toast.

As I am behind with things, my exercise for Tuesday escapes me. I know there was some swimming, and probably some walking. Amazing how the memory goes, isn’t it?
