Lunchtime: wake up leisurely and construct (reheat) some stuffed butternut squash from last night, with black rice, chard, walnuts, cranberries and red peppers inside (much inspired by jessy), with lemon sauteed green beans and a lovely white bean garlic sauce done pretty close to how Atxvegn made hers. Boomshakka, that plus coffee and then off to school.
Dinner: swung by chinatown on my way home to replenish my Sriracha and of course picked up some extra goodies to play with. Fried gluten balls, a strange turnip-like thing with lavender insides (anyone know what that might be?), dried kumquats (ew), salted black beans (yay! mapo tofu!), and dried black fungus. The fungus ended up in my tummy tonight! It's so weird and I'm hooked, it's all crrrrunchy in a mushroom way. I used this recipe, and threw some stir-fried chard with fermented bean curd along side, and ate it with ............. wheat berries. OH, it was good!

I love your complete meals. Why do they look awesome every single time?!
Both of your plates look divine! I feel so inspired, and, er, hungry!
That butternut squash looks perfect!
GORGEOUS DISHES!!!
Gluten balls??? Those would kill me, haha (I'm gluten-free).
That stuffed squash looks amazing! And the hilarious thing is, I just stuffed acorn squash this week. :)
The stuffed squash looks wonderful! I ate my leftover bean and garlic sauce on all kinds of veggies and it was so good.
I'm curious about the root you bought. Do you think it was a purple variety turnip or rutabaga?
ah, a realistic breakfast :) Granted, I usually bring my leftovers for lunch, but if you have time in the morning, this works even better.
I just bought those exact same gluten balls at a Chinese market a few weeks ago...I haven't used them yet but they intrigue me!
hooray for your butternut squash! it looks soooooooo glorious! hooray for chard, too! it's one of my favorite greens! thanks for the shout-out as well! :)
