Beans and Rice EVERYDAY!

Mexican rice and beans

So, today I spent most of the day doing work around the house like gardening, cleaning, laundry and cooking. I say this because I'm not your average domestic goddess who loves doing these things on a daily basis. I loath chores like these and would rather play with the kids, watch some good quality television like "Chowder" and actually get some work done as in online business work.

 But, today was quite different when my husband came home. He wasn't his cranky "ugh, I had a bad day at work" self. No, today he came home in a pretty good mood. He did take a nap because poor thing has been working like a dog but, I called him to dinner and half way through the meal he leaned over and kissed me and said "Thank You". WHATHA?!!! I said" for what" he said "for dinner". Now, I know my husband is from Oaxaca and loves a good home cooked Mexican meal but, it was in this moment that I realized I had been ignoring his most basic need, the thing that shows him that I love him.  Dinner and a clean house.

 I'm no Julia Child. I simply made beans and rice, salsa with the tomatoes from my garden ; ) and eggs with tortillas but, to him spending all that time in the kitchen was like showing him how much I really loved him. Had I known this, I would've made beans and rice daily for the past 10 years!

 Now, I've got and in... hee hee. When I really want something I'll just make beans and rice!!!!!
