Black Beans (also, this is a test post from my phone)

I started off using an actual recipe, but then abandoned it when I figured I could just as well make it without one.
Black Beans
1 or 2 cans worth of black beans (I use dry beans)
1 small can of diced green chilies
1 can corn
1 small can of tomato sauce
1/2 to 1 cup water
1-2 tsp beef bouillon
To taste:
Fresh minced garlic
Chopped onion
Cumin
Salt
Pepper
-Place everything in your crockpot and cook on high for about 4 hours or until it reaches the desired consistency.

We had this with fresh made tortillas, rice, lettuce, cheese, and homemade ranch. It was delicious and very flexible. You can pretty much in what you think will work for your taste preference!

Sillyness and beans

-Sami is silly. Above is my evidence.
-Zach's new job is such a blessing. I love you Zach, for being willing to work to provide for us.
-I do NOT want Congress to include the three US automakers in their bailout. If they can't run their businesses to be successful, they should suffer the consequences, NOT US. Where does it end?
-A delicious recipe from Bettycrocker.com modified by me because I don't like lima beans or kidney beans (sorry, no picture, it's beautiful trust me):
Rice and Bean Bake
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 tbsp vegetable or chicken boullion
1 1/2 tsp fresh chopped marjoram or 1/2 tsp dried marjoram leaves
1 medium onion
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can pinto beans, undrained
1/2 cheddar cheese, shredded
Heat oven to 350. In ungreased 2-quart casserole dish, mix all ingredients except cheese.
Cover; bake 1 hour to 1 hour 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Stir; sprinkle with cheese.
-I'm reading The 5000 Year Leap by Cleon Skousen and LOVE it. Everyone should read this. It's about the Constitutional Convention. It's easy to read and relatively short considering the topic.
-I love my book club. I have read books that I wouldn't have read otherwise, and enjoyed most of them!
-Sami got her leg stuck in between the slats of her crib this afternoon. She was crying so hard (which she rarely does). I held/comforted her for a couple minutes and put her back down. She started crying again and looked so sad. I just couldn't leave her in there, so I got her up and consequently, she didn't take a nap this afternoon. Bad mom maybe, you judge, but I just couldn't her there crying and looking so sad. :)
-The weather has been so nice the last few days, I love it. Sure doesn't feel like it's almost winter (or basically already is here because we pretty much have TWO seasons: Hot and Cold).
-Um...I am SICK and TIRED of hearing/reading about Proposition 8! It already passed in CALIFORNIA, not Utah. It is a MORAL issue, not a POLITICAL or an equality issue. I will respect the new President Barak Obama, even though I didn't vote for him. I wish all would do the same concerning this issue. Deal with it!
-Zach and I watched Get Smart on Friday. I LOVED it! I thought it was hilariously awesome and Steve Carell was perfect as Max Smart. And, bonus, it was surprisingly clean.
-I'm looking forward (nervously?) to the BYU-Utah game on Saturday. It would be AWESOMELY amazing if we beat Utah and I know we can do it.
-Seriously, try my recipe. It's easy and yummy!
