For years Jack has been after me to make beans and rice on Mondays. He said it's a tradition among musicians because they blow their pay by Sunday and can't afford anything more by Monday. He may not have it exactly right, but maybe a little structure to the weekly menu isn't a bad thing. I can't always promise rice. Sometimes I like my beans with polenta, cornbread or biscuits. And since I'm a life-long vegetarian there won't be any meat. But we WILL have Monday beans.

Success, I think
We had the beans Monday tonight with crostini I made from a small sourdough loaf that needed to be eaten, and Jack had some leftover rice. I still only have about two working taste buds because of the lingering flu but as far as I could tell, these were pretty good. Not traditional Tuscan flavor perhaps, but I don't really know what else to call them. For me, the key was the roasted red onion. It's my favorite ingredient in a lot of food, and of course it's better to grill them but with a few inches of snow on the deck that was out of the question.
