Today I’m eating some chili I made last night. Due to a derailed N train and what the Buddhists would call the ’stickiness’ of Facebook, I didn’t start making it until around 8 last night, so I didn’t bother with making rice, something I normally do when I’m trying to extend a pot of chili. I also find I feel more full when I’ve got rice than when I’m just eating beans and tomatoes. This recipe also called for yams, which I recently learned are considered something of a ‘wonder food.’ I guess that made me think I could get away without rice, too. Funny, what our minds will do to get away with not dirtying one more pot.

What did you eat for lunch today, and why?
