OH I WANT SOME!!!!! Our corn never tastes like what you have in the midwest. Who knows how old it is by the time it gets into my pot. Umm- into my kettle. OK--- this is so awful I shouldn't tell it. My family would kill me. BUt I'm so down after this day, and I'm getting a glass of wine and settin' back on the old porch rocker and feel like being bad. CW came home from New Bransfels with an ear infection. He said it hurt to chew and would I make something soft, so I made black beans and yellow rice for dinner last night. We haven't had it in a really long time, but CW used to love it. Onion, garlic and black beans smushed up in the pan, and two more cans of unsmushed beans, over the yellow saffron rice, and served with salsa and mandarin oranges and a dab of sour cream. I also did corn on the cob and a big Greek salad. CW"s girlfriend came by and I invited her for dinner, then Ammo brought a friend home, and he decided he'd stay. NEither had had this dish. We had a great dinner. lots of laughter and we ate everything. Two hours later, I hear all this giggling and snickering from the TV room where Ammo and friend are watching TV. Ammo comes into the kitchen and whispers, "I think those beans were bad. CHris and I have a gas problem." I notice I too seem to be reacting to the meal. Dan says he's going to go sit on the porch for a while. (He is always very dignified and NEVER would talk about something like this). SO I went upstairs and read and giggled. I haven't had the nerve to ask CW about the rest of his evening with his date. I'd forgotten what havok a big meal of beans can wreak on your system.
