Simple Rice and Beans

Chop onion and carrots along with any vegetables, really.  Saute.

Rinse the beans.

Throw everything in a pot and cover with water or broth.

Add some spices.

Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer until the beans are perfect.

Today was a fun day.  Christmas parties are always better with a little arm-wrestling competition.  It's also fun when there is a tiny shivering chihuahua named Honey to cuddle with.

Hello, sunny muffin. 

Sleepy

2 o'clock in the afternoon, and still sleepy.

Snacks, books, and kitties.  All cozy little pieces of happiness.
