Food rainbow

I just finished watching the movie Gone Baby Gone. Don't watch it. Too depressing. It's put a damper on the last few hours of an otherwise fantastic weekend.

So, how about some happy thoughts? I took lots of food photos over the last few days and when I looked back, I noticed we ate a lot of colors.

Sushi (well, Melissa's version of sushi, very bland, very veggie, very colorful)

Black beans (not all that colorful except that they turned the wooden spoon purple). Inspired, of course, by Angry Chicken, I made my own black beans: most of a bag of dried beans, one chopped onion, a few smashed garlic cloves and about 8 cups of water. On high in the crockpot for 5 hours and the burritos were delish.

Picnic with cherries and Rhubarb Applesauce. I think this may be my best applesauce adventure yet.  One bag of apple "seconds," one small bunch of rhubarb, a few tablespooons sugar, many hours over low heat.

White (orange?) carrot cake cupcakes--Biscuit liked frosting (and eating frosting)

And, finally, very green soup.  Recipe from Orangette. Mr. H liked it (surprisingly--he's not a garlic fan)

Thanks for all the nice comments on the correspondence birthday gift yesterday :)  Really, comments totally make my day, even when I get behind and don't respond personally to each one. Sorry, I am dumb.

Happy Monday!

You aren't dumb at all! Comments are the best ;)

Thanks for the tip on the movie. I hate depressing movies :(

Oh, I was totally going to rent that movie, too. Thanks for the heads up. I don't need any more depression than my usual status quo!

Who responds to each comment personally? Don't even think you have to do such a thing!

That food looks SOOO good! I have beans to cook, must grab some garlic though. Burritos sound great. The green soup looks amazing too.
