Roy and I disagree on whether I'm a picky eater. Roy's an optimist, and lists all the foods I've tried and liked. I think of all the ones I don't like or refuse to try. Nothing spicy, no hot liquids. No black beans.
One of the choices at Fair Shares this week was black bean soup, black beans and rice, or some other black bean thing. Roy loves this stuff, so we got the soup, and he ate it for lunch on Thursday. He added chopped onions and cheddar cheese. Roy thought it was excellent. A little tang to it, filling, it was good.
For dinner, we were going to use the ground bison to make burgers. I made potato latkes with them. I'd never eaten bison before. It cooked faster than the lamb and it was leaner. Roy pointed out that the drip tray on the Foreman grill was empty; no fat spilled off the burgers.
While I cooked the latkes and meat, Roy helped by chopping an onion, slicing the hamburger buns, a tomato, more onion, and cutting off some cheese for the burger. The cheese was thick and it took a while to melt. I'm afraid the burger got overcooked. I'm not sure what it was supposed to taste like, since I don't know what bison tastes like. Roy liked it better than I did. I know I liked the lamb burger better.
This didn't feel like a healthy meal at all. We didn't have a salad with it. Roy said our burger toppings amounted to a salad - lettuce, tomato, and onions.
I used three foods from Fair Shares: the ground bison, lettuce, and an egg in the potato latkes.

I used half the ground bison for this meal.
Bison burger and potato latkes. The lettuce from last week still looks good.
