Behind the scenes of the Japanese ballad

I found a small jarful of dried kidney beans in a shelf, and I wanted to use them up.  
Apparently there're numerous nutritious benefits to this vegetable. 

The beans were soaked for a day, first boiled, skim the foam off the surface of boiling water, then pressured cooked for 6 minutes.
Refreshing ponzu flavor was enhanced with lime juice, fig vinegar, lots of fresh thyme and basil.

a pasta lunch, made with what I had in my fridge.  
Chopped hotdog gave some smoky flavor to the rich cream sauce. Almost like a warm pasta salad.

Beautiful day, spent with beautiful people.
Long meadow is a great spot for kids, adults, and pets.
made me want to move to Brooklyn badly.
