This reflects the kind of day we are having around here. Rain. Lots of it. Most kids on vacation would say It Sucks! but its actually a good thing. Last I heard the snow level in the mountains was about 150% of normal/average. If it was sunny and warm all that melting snow would cause flooding.
I've currently got a pot of pinto beans steaming up my kitchen. I think its the perfect day for it. When they're almost done I'll slip in some cooked hamburger and a small can of tomato sauce. Once they've joined, I'll take the pot off the heat and let it sit for a while. That gives the different flavors a chance to meld together. (I wonder if I should put up a do-not-disturb sign while the flavors marry. hmmmm)
Its hit-or-miss with my beans, but I gotta say... when its a hit, oh be still my heart. Or tongue, as the case may be... Yummo! (I don't talk about the misses.)

good one!
p.s. that sounds good, that recipe. Some day you could put a pick up so we know what it looks like.
Funny.......the marrying thing not the rain! I am SICK of the rain. We too are doing well with moisture and our snow pack is up so it's time for a little sun..... unfortunately all we'll see today is 45 degrees and endless precipitation.
I didn't spit ~~~ it was a big sneeze ~~~~ Yummy beans --Do you have a big red onion to go along side?
