African Stew




This was my first attempt at adding more veggies to my diet, and it was delicious! I found it online when I was searching for spinach recipes. Not only was it great, its pretty easy as well. I halved the original recipe, so here's what I did:

1 bag spinach
1 can diced tomatoes
1 onion
2 Tablespoons peanut butter

Chop the onion and cook it in oil until soft. Add can of tomatoes and cook about 5 minutes, stir occasionally. Add chopped spinach and cover, cook at medium heat for 5 minutes. While spinach is cooking thin the peanut butter with hot water until it is a smooth paste. Remove the lid and stir in peanut butter. Cook another 5 to 10 minutes.

When I make this again I might add some red pepper flakes and see how that goes.

Updates

Earlier I said that I was going to keep track of the number of books I read this year with no goal in mind. This morning I decided to amend that. In my apartment I have two bookcases that are overflowing, and enough stacks on the floor to fill a third. I've decided to donate the ones I don't want to Planned Parenthood, and to really try to read the ones I've been meaning to get to. Hopefully I can ween it down to two appropriately filled bookcases.

The Mailman is still being a jerk. I didn't get any mail for about a week, then I got two pieces of mail addressed to "current resident". I have also received more mail for the person who doesn't live at my address, but none for me.

Taken

I watched Taken yesterday, and it was great. Liam Neeson was awesome, there was tons of action, and a few things happened that were genuinely surprising. This was not a run of the mill action flick. Go see it.
