LOL So I guess bean dip is not on the menu?
No bean dip, but ironically I am making black beans and rice for dinner here at the Nature house.
I love black beans and rice!!!! I cook it all the time for myself and also for pot lucks,
I’d love your recipe. Mine turned out…meh.
first I have to ask are you vegetarian or carnivor?
Definitely carnivore, but trying to eat more vegetarian.
Okay. buy a bag of black beans and soak the amount you want to cook. I never use canned ones except to make black bean dip and very seldom even for that.
Once I have the beans actually cooking I add a couple of diced onions, fresh garlic that has been minced, cajun spices, and diced red and yellow bell peppers. If I am making it with meat, I either add chicken breast or hot sausage such as italion or the cajun sausage or both. LOL I wait and add diced tomatoes after the beans are completely done and then serve over wild or brown rice. I do not add salt as it is not needed but some people add salt but this should also be added after the beans are done. spices of course are to taste.
Do you cook the dry beans in a certain amount of water, or do you cook and drain them before adding the other stuff?
Once I have rinsed them I have them cooking in just enough water to cover them and add more as needed. I cook them with out a top on the pan so that lots of water evaporates. You can always drain some of the fluid towards the end of cooking if it is too runny but usually I just kerep adding more veggies in such as onions and bell pepers. When I say a couple of onions, I am talking about big white onions.
you can wait and add all extra ingredients once the beans are done, but I do like to have some garlic and onions cooking with the beans.
I’ve been too lazy to use dried beans, but I’m going to try this. Thanks!
you’re welcome.
No shoulder pads?? : )
On my to the showers. Gotta be ready to take my son to get his eyes checked. I am soooooooooooo not ready to go out yet. But at least I don’t feel like a Weeble. However, I am still blonde and therefore am liable to fall down at any moment for no reason.
Ciao for Niao XOXOXOX
Feel better soon!!!!
Should we start up the kegger again?
I think hot tea will be my beverage of choice this evening.
Good thinking. Don’t want to tempt that migraine. You can be the designated commenter.
LOL well you have seen me comment sober but never drunk. I warn you know when that happens you will be in hysterics or I will be banned, LOL
any of you fuckers remember this classic diary?
link.
That was BSN = before Second Nature.
no
but here’s a bit of humor
Psycho Path Voted best Street Name
wonder why that struck me today?
If we answer are we admitting to being fuckers?
i don’t detect any virgins in the lounge…
And I though bad fucking language was encouraged around these parts.
You have a virgin detector? How does THAT work?
It’s part of the Scoop Software. Only I have access to this feature.
It would be a real shame if the American Taliban got access to that feature. Be sure you keep it safe.
meep! meep! meep! meep!…that was the virgin detector going off.
I was thinking the opposite — given the Taliban’s feelings about sex outside marriage.
Although if he WANTS me to be a virgin — I can do that too
I was going to say it might help your chances with the men, but given your, um, performance the past several nights in the late night lounge, you really don’t need help.
It’s not like these were exclusive parties — you could have joined us. ej provided plenty of beer.
I’m trying to be a good role model but you keep emulating that mother hen you’ve got — although she actually stayed later than you. What’s up with that?
I think it had something to do with watching Grey’s Anatomy and then coming back and seeing that you had it well in hand.
well in hand.
Over the internet? How’d they do that?
well it wasn’t a well oiled hand because supersoling lost the lotion.
I paused for about half a second before hitting submit with that “well in hand” reference. Think of it as a gift.
joining a party that’s in full swing is harder than getting one started. I did all the work for you, you should have walked in.
Although I grant you that a party where people are consuming entire kegs of beer straight from the keg might be a little intimidating. But not an excuse.
Stop picking on George. He’s sorry he ran off with a few kegs.
I think george probably had some help. LOL
Yea but now he’s got Mary talking about putting her foot down and in George’s case that could be fatal.
Yeah, but once the p[arty is in full swing she gets distracted. LOL
I’m still waiting for my nickname. Tap…Tap…
Don’t rush me — these things take time.
I don’t know about maryb, but from now on I’ll be thinking of you as “that fucker, Boo.” Lovingly, of course. And with all due respect.
yeah well it’s been so long I’m not sure the moniker fits. Can I can become an honorary virgin?
sure
just look bashful and say “this is my first time”
works like a charm
LOL!!! but Mary gave that act up a long time ago.
Of course you can. It’s the magic of the internet. Besides, you really don’t need to be so literal. Back when Deadwood was on and Susan was doing the threads, I always thought of you guys as “those Booman cocksuckers.” Again, lovingly, respectfully, etc.
ah I miss that show. When is it coming back?
I miss it too. Supposed to be March, but they delayed for the Sopranos. I think I heard June (way too long!).
especially while dressed in a classic Catholic school girl outfit.
Is that what . . . nevermind
Remember that Target bag Andi had? I think it had knee socks and saddle shoes in it.
Ah. You meant it in the literal sense. Well played, Boo, well played.
Either way, yes, I remember that post because I was so happy to see another adult who loved The Brave Little Toaster. One of the many reasons I love Susan.
Hell yes we love cussing!!!! but don’t spit on the floor or Maryb will whup your ass. LOL
For a second I thought you said I’d wipe his ass — and even I draw the line at that.
I could whup his ass but he’d like it too much.
just don’t call me Sally when you do whatever it is you intend to do with my ass.
Give me time, I’ll think of a good pet name for you.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!
I might be a little kinky but even I have limits.
That is such a relief!
OMG I am laughing so hard I am crying. LOL
Well, you know, SOMEONE has to have limits around here.
All alone at the end of the of the evening
And the bright lights have faded to blue
I was thinking ’bout a woman
Who might have loved me
And I never knew
You know I’ve always been a dreamer
spent my life running ’round
And it’s so hard to change
can’t seem to settle down
But the dreams I’ve seen lately
Keep on turning out and burning out
And turning out the same
So put me on a highway
And show me a sign
And take it to the limit one more time…
Hey Indy, glad you’re feeling better to make an Eagles hit-and-run! How are the gums feeling?
My grammar sucks. But you know what I mean.
Don’t remember it but have seen the movie and I don’t have kids. LOL
Octogenarian… are those people who give up eating…
Take care!
My son just told me that his coworker; a girl who just turned 16 is pregnant and doesn’t want to tell her parents. She doesn’t want to have it.
I am about to research the state laws regarding parental notification. This is legal, damnit, and they make it so damn difficult and shameful!
What a sad state things are in for most young women and only getting worse to fuel the repugnants hatred and stupidity. Good luck with this and finding this young woman some help.
Shit, just found out NC is a parental PERMISSION state, not just parental notification.
I thought so. We took a friend of mine when we were in college out of state. That was back in the 80’s.
I’m reluctant to get involved before I know what my legal liability is. I told my son to encourage her to go down to Planned Parenthood and get an exam, and talk to them about what her options might be. Maybe they can help her tell her parents.
I understand. This was something I did as a college kid for a friend. You have to be careful and get her to people who can help her.
Here’s some detailed info on the NC parental consent law. It doesn’t look there will be much you can do.
Nice to know NC get’s a big fat “D” in access to abortion. Jesus, they don’t even make an acception for rape or incest unless she goes to court first.
Yeah, it looked really restrictive. So encouraging her go to a clinic where they are used to dealing with kids who don’t want to tell their parents is probably the best thing.
And thanks for not pointing out that I used acception (WTF?) instead of exception.
Given my penchant for leaving out entire words I’m not about to throw any stones.
Yeah, I guess it’s way cooler to make up new words.
Raleigh Women’s Health Organization looks like it would be a good resource.
I’ve got it bookmarked and will print it out.

wasn’t supposed to jump over there to the right
OK — enough work and lurk for me today. What a . . . Monday.
I always look forward to Second Nature’s famous Monday night happy hours.
Glad you made it maryb. Help me eat these M&M’s will you?
Popcorn to follow…
How about a nice Ciabatta with some seasoned olive oil instead?
They look good but I’m going out to dinner so I don’t want to ruin my appetite.
Almost forgot to pick up little dude from tae kwon do. Back soon.
the little dude
do you think this is her pet name for Mr. Nature?
Heh. You don’t want to know.
You know, whenever you mention “Mr. Nature” I think of a man dressed like tarzan swinging from a chandelier. You have a chandelier over your bed don’t you? If you don’t you should consider getting one.
Sorry I have to leave so early but I have to be somewhere.
I’ll be back later.
Me, I think of Mr. Natural ..
That’s a scary thought!
Whenever you guys are ready.
