We wanted something
quick and comforting the other night.

And Mr. Hawthorne delivered.

Why, it's a Rhapsody in Browns.
But all very good browns.

Here's a hyacinth on my counter.
Smells delicious.
I really had to give you
some pretty color in this post.
We're cooking out of boxes tonight.

Beans and rice are ready in 20 minutes.

While the beans and rice were cooking,
Mr. Hawthorne made the potato pancake batter.

Mr. Hawthorne made the pancakes
the way I wanted - thin.
When I have potato pancakes with a roast
I like a thicker pancake,
crisp on the outside and soft on the inside,
so the meat juices can be soaked up by the pancake sponge.

Tonight, I wanted thinner, crispier pancakes
to POP with the beans and rice
and Mr. H. obliged.

These things are addictive.

Like potato chips on steroids.

This would have been a lot less
brown
had it been photographed in
natural light.
For that,
I apologize.
But this explosion of carbs
was soul-satisfyingly wonderful.
I heartily recommend it.
