Breakfast:
Null.
Lunch:
Leftover mashed potatoes, cucumber salad, and corn on the cob from Day 9.
Dinner:
Black bean burgers on top of homemade whole wheat hamburger buns. I used Camellia brand black beans and local onion, salt, and basil. The bread crumbs, black pepper, and oregano were already in my pantry, and I forgot to add the garlic powder. As for the hamburger buns, the sugar, salt, and whole wheat flour were local, but everything else was from my pantry.
Except, I lied. Jason and I literally have been going on an egg hunt the last week: Crescent City Farmers Market on Thursday, Hollygrove Market on Saturday, and Hollygrove Market today. All three times they were out, so I said screw it. We made a considerable enough effort to find local eggs. Jason bought local beef at Hollygrove today to make up for it.
Getting ready to go into the oven!
The one totally awesome thing about this bun recipe (besides the fact that it received the Jason stamp of approval) is that it doesn't require twelve billion hours to rise before throwing in the oven. The recipe called for 10 minutes, though I probably let is rest for closer to 20-30 while waiting for the beans to cook.
Twelve minutes later, they're nice and risen!
I also dressed the black bean burgers with some local arugula and red onion. The burger as a whole was a tad dry since I didn't take the time to come up with a local sauce or spread (maybe an arugula pesto next time?). Since I was already off the wagon with respect to my non-local food allowances, I decided to wash it down with some orange juice.
