refried black bean, beet greens, broccoli, blue borage flower burritos
Long story short. My phd adviser is a little eccentric and at one point in time he tried to eat by the alphabet for some length of time. I.e. on monday he'd eat apples and asparagus and so forth. The precise details are hazy. Sara randomly met his housemate at the time who told her the story, and the seed was planted, so the VIPER lab decided to try eating dinners by the alphabet for a month. We chose February cause 28 days was the closest to 26, and it gave us a little while to psych up for it. Here's the geography news write up of us.
It was super fun up to about L, it began to drag on after that. Some of the more clever desserts were fluffernutter for "f" and nanas 'n' nutella for "n". There are some pretty fine alliterations if I do say so myself. Here's what we cooked for the month:
