1. The contest asks for our best dirt cheap recipes, yet Amanda and Merrill and the Small Kitchen ladies have been, I am sure some will agree, maddeningly obscure as to precisely what they mean by "dirt" and "cheap".
<br />
<br />2. Sarah Shatz's typically perfect photo, on the other hand, adds up to exactly 78 cents. Now that's something I can work with.
<br />
<br />3. I love beans. They are almost the perfect food. I stockpile them both canned and dry, in colors black, white, red, and anything others that look interesting (and since the Bulk Bin project, many more look interesting). And I love garbanzo beans especially. On a salad, smashed into a hummus, in a soup.
<br />
<br />4. With 78 cents to work with, I looked around the kitchen to see what I had to work with. The results turned out to be perfect for a rainy spring evening.
