Prepared Foods: It's What's For Dinner

Sometimes we're really good about dinner. Seriously. We eat plenty of chopped salads, stir-fries, curries, etc. In keeping with the spirit of half-assery, however, allow us to reveal tonight's dinner, otherwise known as "pantry castoffs" or "hobo's sweet tooth." You take a base of TJ's cornbread, add a healthy dollop of baked beans, and top it off with some crumbled black bean burger. Delicious, you say? Oh, you bet it is. You know those people who can take five ingredients from their refrigerator and make something fresh and delicious and inspirational? We are not those people. We made this, and we sure did eat it. But sometimes you have to sacrifice a little flavor to make some room in the pantry, amirite? Pantry integrity, that's what we're about.

Have you ever had Trader Joe's cornbread? It's like eating boxed yellow cake with some corn kernels thrown in for pizazz. With a can of super sugared beans on top, the sweetness here was truly overkill. Disgusting, really. Poor Morning Star never had a chance to shine. Even Rooster was wary of this concoction. No, never. This is just the coy sideways glance he throws when he's pretending he's disinterested.

Wow, blogging. We'll report on some more stuff not worth reporting on soon!
