I made a pot of Black bean- rice- corn- onion & veggies- & salsa Mexican inspired tomato based soup.

Big pot, so a couple servings will be frozen, but tomorrow breakfast as well.

Hot Decafe tea

You know how to start sauteing the onions in a bit of oil, then the Mexican style spices for a minute or two, then the beans, corn, tomato juice, stir, heat add pre cooked rice, frozen corn, pre made salsa, taste and adjust spices.

If you want, you could brown a ground meat with the onions.

Dessert: Pineapple upside-down cake.

(You caught us on a good night. Last night it was grilled hot dogs and baked beans.)

franks and beans are good food.

(Disclaimer: the only baked beans I eat are homemade.... I'm a bit of a snob that way.)
