I’d be lying if I said I had high expectations for dinner tonight.  I was hoping for an empty pantry miracle and the fact that I was able to create something edible, well I’ll consider that the miracle.

Hulled barley leftover from my fourth blog post ever?  Ok!

Once I passed the shock that a. the barley was still good and b. I could pinpoint the exact moment I last used it, I dumped a couple cans of beans, oil and vinegar, and some spices in a cast iron pot and then gracefully spilled the spices all over the floor.  Oops!

This recipe wasn’t tasty enough to share.  But!  I do think the barley and bean combo was delish and would love to hear your suggestions on what ingredients I could have added to make it a share worthy dish.
