This is the greatest posting chain EVER.
Ok..for me, I am easily excitable....and I am beside myself to have something to post about that I don't have to actually think up on my own.
I SO enjoy reading The New Girl's blog, and I have spent some time recently trying to convince her to be new BFs. Something which I am SURE will tick off my real life BF, but you see I am not turning on her...just trying to establish a virtual friendship when actual friendships in this one friend town are slim.
(and may I remind BF, ahem, girls night out, with ahem....your new beautiful and perfect friend A. who I am yet to meet...I can be forgiven one little harmless internet friendship right?)
(right?)
The real reason for my post....Blogger chain!
Behold the mighty veggie recipe....keeping in mind that I don't actually cook so much as heat things up or in this case, mix things. Also to be fair I got this jewel from BF's Auntie.
'Southern Caviar' AKA 'Cowboy Caviar'
Get a REALLY big bowl and mix together....
1 can each (drained and rinsed) of the following:
- Black Eyed Peas
- Black Beans
- Chick Peas
- Corn
then:
- 2 medium tomatoes; chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed (I use about 5 but I LOVE me some garlic)
- 1 medium bell pepper, red, orange, yellow...which ever you fancy
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 up parsley or cilantro chopped
- 8oz Italian salad dressing (bought or home made)
Chill at least 2 hours (ok) or overnight (better) to blend flavors. Serve with chips as dip or as bean salad on the side. Or just leave the container open on the counter when you are heating up, I mean cooking actual dinner so you can pick at it for an hour.
Please be sure to make yummy noises where appropriate!Now I have had an emotional night...something I might post about tomorrow... right now I need to go make brownies and eat the whole pan.
