I think I might create a new recipe, mel's 2 day beans!
The beans got done last night, after Beloved had decided on something else for supper. So that makes today, I guess day 3 and we finally had the beans and brown rice.
I made home made tortillas, simple with the same recipe as chapatis, but they do not need to rest for an hour before rolling. I used whole wheat mixed with white flour.
Over all reaction, good but needs more spice (now had they cooked in the timely manner, the spices would have been stronger!) Now, tomorrow we will do tacos, for which I will add a bit of ground beef, and sour cream. (Beloved wants cheese too) as well as tomatoes. It did satisfy my craving for beans and rice and it gave me a sense of satisfaction to have cooked the meal from scratch, and knowing that tomorrow (Thursday is a busy day for me generally) supper is mostly made, just make more tortillas, cook the meat, warm the next batch of beans, and off we go!
So now I am tired, because it was so pleasant today I was able to finish the kitchen and the laundry, I also watered the plants and helped Beloved hang a new porch lamp.
Tonight I retire to bed, a full, and happy homemaker!
Hugs y'all
