For example, last night I was on my way down to the freezer to take out a container of pinto beans for dinner tonight and saw three ripe mangoes sitting on the counter. Somehow I became conscious of the fact that pinto and mango both ended with the letter O and my mind took off, thinking how many 'O' ingredients I could fit into a bowl.
Presenting tonight's dinner:
Along with a little chopped onion, a couple of cloves of garlic, and a lime-cilantro-chili powder dressing, the ingredients for the cold main dish salad were:
- PintO
- MangO
- TomatO
- JalapenO
- CilantrO
Five years ago today: Please Don't Eat The Tomatoes
Except for the OniOn, that sounds Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteNot an onion fan, huh?
Deletelooks good-o
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteLast letter is a clever way of deciding what to make for dinner. You should submit the idea of Kathy's Groceries Games to the Food Network as a challenge for Guy's Grocery Games.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea! I just might have to do that.
DeleteVery clever. This looks like something my daughter would make for dinner.
ReplyDeleteFrom what you've said I think your daughter and I may have similar diets.
DeleteLooks absolutely delicious-o. So you cook your pinto beans ahead and freeze them?
ReplyDeleteI cook all kinds of beans ahead, because it's just as much work to cook a small amount or a whole bag. My freezer always has a supply of pinto, black, great northern, and garbanzo beans and sometimes there's additional types, too. Depends on if I see anything interesting when I go to the ethnic market.
DeleteOh, I really like the way you think-O.
ReplyDeleteHow did it taste?
Thank you :-) It tasted good the first night for dinner, and even better the next day after the flavors had melded mpre.
