Day 1/180: Bean Soup for dinner

I've decided that I will reset the six months to start from today.

I just set-up my dinner for tonight and it is so simple that it doesn't even call for recipe format.

Using the leftover vegetable stock from yesterday, I added enough water to bring it up to a total of 4 cups. I put it into a big saucepan on low at the back of the stove and added:

• 1 vegetable bouillon cube, 
• 1 1/2 cups of a mixture of black beans, black-eyed peas, navy beans and pearled barley. 
• 1 strip of dried kombu seaweed to minimize methane production, 
• 1/3 cup of mixed dehydrated vegetables 
• a big handful of dried shiitake because I love mushrooms. 

I'll let it cook all day and have it with bread tonight.
