It's Friday!   Tonight we had leftovers.   I did make another batch of brownies and even made some dairy free ice cream to go with it. ( with the rest of the soaked cashews from last night)  Although I wanted warm brownies straight from the oven, I will have to say that the texture is better when they are cool.  The ice cream wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't Mayfield. :)   I think I will make it a little sweeter next time by adding more agave nectar, but I am pretty pleased with the experiment.  We will have to see what Nate thinks when he gets home. He has not been holding back what he thinks about my new way of life. ( Though he never really does.)

I learned something today.  My mom has been telling me to watch the sodium in the canned black beans.  (I know it is sad but I have never cooked them any other way.)  GUESS WHAT!!!  In a can of black beans there is 1400 mg of sodium.  Yep, you read that right.  BUT, there is ZERO mg of sodium in an entire bag of dry beans.  I am in shock.  According to my research... adults are suppose to have less that 1500 mg of sodium per day and children are suppose to have less than 1250mg per day.  Just food for thought.  No pun intended.
