Black bean and Sweet potato soup and wIAW

It’s another edition of What I Ate Wednesday! This week it’s actually, what I ate Wednesday. The day started with my normal cup of coffee, or three!

Around noon, Huck’s coworker called and asked if we want to go to lunch. He was an hour away, so I snacked on one of my leftover Chocolate and Peanut Butter Brownies.

Back to lunch…

The three of us planned to try a different place each time we go to lunch.

This week I picked Dive Bar. We keep hearing good things about it, and it’s right on the water. You can’t go wrong with that.

Great view! After we ordered our food, we picked out our future Yacht.

For lunch, I ordered the Sushi Bento Box. It started with a Salad with Ginger Dressing.

After my salad my lunch box came out. It had “Tuna roll, 5pcs. of sushi, & two daily specials”. The daily special was cucumber slices with Sriracha and Cabbage and Raw Fish with a Mayo Sauce {Kind of weird but good}.

And with a view like this, how can anything be bad?

Huck ordered the Shrimp Po Boy. The bun was really good. Crunchy and buttery!

Terry ordered the Blackened Grouper and was really impressed.

We will definitely go back. Next time I will dress a little nicer than Jeans and a T-shirt. I thought it was a “Dive” Bar. Like informal restaurant. Not Dive like ocean water dive. Oh well.

After the gym, we came home, and I started making Black Bean and Sweet Potato Soup. I’ve seen lots of recipes for Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burritos and bought all the ingredients to try it, but decided to make soup instead. The spiciness from the peppers was perfect with the sweetness from the potatoes. This is something I’ll be making again for sure.

  1. The Dive Bar’s food looked really good. Never though black beans and sweet potatoes would taste good together, sounded different, need to try. I hope ya have a good time at the blog convention.

  2. The food at the Dive Bar looked awesome! The Bento Box looked cool, but don’t think I’d be adventurous enough to eat that. There’s just something about raw fish that I can’t do… I know… I’m missing out. I just need to man up & try it sometime. 😉
