I had an evening job last night, so my wife made dinner on her own. I got to bring the leftovers for lunch, though, and they were DELICIOUS.

She made the beans (after soaking overnight) in the crockpot, the rice in the rice cooker, and the guacamole from scratch. Sheer perfection. We made the balsamic vinegar pearls with my molecular gastronomy kit on Sunday, and they’re okay, but they’re not as good as the egregiously expensive storebought ones, because those are basically liquid vinegar surrounded by a thin skin, whereas these are agar-based and kinda chewy, with no actual liquid component.
