sweet mung bean mush

sdf
While family and friends at home are baking cookies, eating Thanksgiving leftovers, bundling up drinking pumpkin spice lattes, I'm rummaging for a tank top to wear that isn't already drenched in sweat, wishing I didn't need to go out in the sun to fill up jugs of fresh water, trying to keep an eye on a pot of little green mung beans and water threatening to boil over in the kitchen.

This brings me to my dessert of the month: Sweet Mung Bean Mush. It's got nothing on a nice spiced pumpkin pie with a good flaky crust and fresh whipped cream, but I've been strangely craving this sweet beany stuff daily for weeks now. The dish is pretty unexciting, if not downright unappealing to the average person, but really does hit the spot for me..

in all its glory

  1. Well, at least it's green... in honor of this week's Civil War game.

  2. I think I'll stick with the pumpkin pie...oh... and the apple pie! Yummmmmm!

    Let me tell you though, the bundling up isn't so much fun...and having to wear flannels from neck to ankle plus socks and a jacket to bed is totally unglamorous!
