Chickpeas are amazing. That's all. |
Other big life changes, I moved back to Dayton, Ohio and plan to take creative writing classes in the fall to strengthen my writing passions. In the meantime, I am committed to writing personal essays and short stories over the summer and using sketchbooks. I have been drawing almost everyday, alternating between graphite and watercolor. One of my current projects is "Black Women Writers From A to Z," illustrating and discussing black women across the African diaspora who are novelists, playwrights, essayists, poets, etc. The response has been pretty positive so far.
Yes, yes. Another chickpea centered recipe. I eat chickpeas a lot. Like almost every other day. I mean 75 cents per can is definitely a saver. Since moving back to Dayton, I have fallen back into the habit of shopping at Kroger-- a much cheaper grocery option than many Philly favorites. Thus, chickpeas are on every grocery list.

These corn tortillas were on sale $1.25 for a package of thirty. One can go through these pretty quickly-- taco fans especially. |
Tacos and tea: a winning combination. |
