Daron has been out of town visiting friends in Illinois so Jess decided to do some experimental cooking in his absence. Laura also had a dish to make so they went to the store and convened in the kitchen here at 1900 hours. On the menu from Jess: Black Bean Burgers with guacamole, spinach and feta. On the menu from Laura: Creamy Mexican Chicken Salad with beans, corn, celery, and peppers. If you can't tell, they were trying to be healthy. If this was a competition I think there would be two losers.
The bad news: They may have forgotten half the ingredients in Laura's dish and Jess's may have been severely overcooked. Needless to say, I am omitting the recipes. (Sorry to Kristin for being the unfortunate dinner guest of the evening.)
The good news: Jess now has Amber's (much more savory version) of the Black Bean recipe in her inbox and they succeeded in consuming very few calories!
Here is a photo of the fixings pre-consumption/disappointment.

In other food news Jess is eating a cookie back from the 2/26 post. yikes. Blogging sure makes you more aware of food expiration dates...
I was not aware that Louise keeps military time. I like it.
