black bean and quinoa while waiting for Muifa

The island of Okinawa has been anticipating typhoon muifa for a few days now.  It seems to get slower and slower.  As of this moment all non essential personnel are at home in anticipation of the storm. 
It looks very eerie outside.  Almost like the start of a severe thunderstorm.  Most people that are from the area where I grew up can tell you the sky often becomes a calm greyish green right before cloud rotation is in the area.  It looks very much like that outside right now.  But I'm a wuss and have no desire to go outside.  I learned a few years ago not to mess with nature.  If you ask for it, you will receive it.  I would never invite destruction.
I'm currently blasting music from the 90's and 2000's while drinking beer and cooking. to keep my mind off of this very slow moving storm.  I've been in the kitchen for about three hours playing around.  I made the cookies from the previous post again and i made another favorite of mine.  I usually make a half recipe because I'm the only one who eats it.  this is my version of the half recipe.
