Is It Raining? Or Did You Just Spit On Me?

PhotobucketThis 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.)

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.
