OCD Baby!

Image
I'm having a lovely time with my family. My baby brother is so freaking cute and since I was here over Christmas he has developed some rather adorable OCD tendencies. He's going through a "helpful" phase and loves to clean. He's "vacuuming" the garage. He meticulously set up his Elmos next to him, and adjusted them so they were perfect. Hugs! He is so adorable.

Deconstructed Moong Bean Soup Soup: Dried moong beans Water Seasoned salt Optional -- garlic, curry powder, garam masala Raw spinach Raw broccoli and cauliflower Nutritional yeast Cook moong beans until soft, about an hour. Cook longer than you think you should -- they'll get cooked, but then add more water and keep cooking so they really break down and get creamy. Make a bed of ...
