    Morning KB, and all who pass by later!

    In the crock today: garbanzo bean soup. ["Garbanzo" is a happy word for me, I love to say "garbanzo."] Adapted for cube-cooking from a recipe on cooks.com…

    1 onion, diced into crock
    add olive oil to coat and crock on High until tender

    1/3-1/2 c (dry) garbanzos, soaked overnight & drained
    1/3 c dried tomatoes
    1 garlic clove, diced
    1 salt packet (1/8 tsp?)
    pepper to taste
    1 jalapeno, split
    4 small (golf ball-size) potatoes, whole

    The original recipe leaves mashing the beans & potatoes as an option, to make it thicker. I’ll have to see how that goes. If I had any Mrs. Dash, I would have added 1/2 tsp.

    If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to scavenge a couple of those little cream cheese tubs & make some sardine dip to go with it.

    Also J4T, I’ll drink my water, take my fiber, and take a walk (stiff headwind out there today!).

    The soup looks wonderful, far, but *sardine dip*??? How do you make THAT? It sounds (maybe) yummy on crackers.

    Hi, katiebird and, as far said, all who pass by today.

    Hi all. Much needed rain here in the valley so I won’t be walking. I’ll make sure to drink my water though. That looks like some good soup, Far.

    The soup turns out to be good… it pulled a bit more of the jalapeno flavor out than I’d expected. Or maybe it’s the black pepper; jalapeno doesn’t usually burn my lips.

    Hi Kansas, here’s my sardine dip: hunt & gather two small tubs of cream cheese. Drain a tin of sardines & remove the backbones etc. Run to Kroger & replace the Mrs. Dash you let run out over a month ago (sheesh on me). Mash the cream cheese & sardines up with a fork, add about 1/2 tsp of Mrs. Dash, mix well, serve on your favorite crackers. Not as good as smoked salmon, but nothing is as good as smoked salmon.
