On Monday night Mike had already started cooking dinner when I got home and he didn't remember that the curry was what I planned to serve. I can't complain, though, because he's an awesome partner who cooks dinner for the family all the time. So we ate pasta with broccoli and cauliflower in a lemony-tahini sauce.
Then on Tuesday the kids and I visited Mike's mom and went out for Chipotle. Not what I planned, but delicious and the kids were thrilled.
It is now Wednesday night and I'm cooking up some pasta with mushrooms and spinach even though I still have about 8 cups curry and nearly as much brown rice in the fridge. I've eaten it for 2 days in a row at lunch and I just can't eat it for both lunch and dinner in the same day. Looks like this curry will need to get frozen or something!
Even though I'm not ready to ONLY eat this curry for the next 5 days, it is really good. I scored the black chickpeas (made by Timeless Foods) at Linden Hills Co-op. I used this recipe (Bengal Gram Curry) except used more chickpeas than the recipe suggested. I used the whole package. I wouldn't recommend that.

That's funny -- that happens to me some weeks, too. Sometimes, by Friday night, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for SOMETHING fresh to prepare, other weeks, we have piles of leftovers begging to be eaten by two people who are SICK of them! Weird. :)
i've never heard of black chickpeas!
i love leftovers for like two days - and then i don't want to eat that same thing for weeks.
