Old Taste Buds

There are exaggerated reports of a heavy winter storm today, from my window it just looks like winter. However, since everyone else has gone to cover I am staying inside too, happily hunkering down, spending my day cooking vegetarian, making something yummy. My main meal of the day is more complicated than usual: the Mesoamerican "Three Sisters" which is corn, beans, and squash (I have yams for squash which is close enough), in a chili tomato sauce over rice. Cooking is fun, I don't even mind the clean-up which I do as I cook, washing this bowl or that utensil as I go.

This was an excellent day planned, which turned out less than half as well as I had hoped. The flavor of questionable canned vegetables from the food bank on old taste buds is a fail. Oh well, at least my old self is warm, safe, fed, hydrated, and contentedly inside.
