Oh oh it's magic...

I finally was able to make my beans into magic! Like Jack and the beanstalk! Little onion here, little tomato, jalapeno, a little garlic and cilantro... Because on the contrary to what my wonderful husband thinks... good refried beans don't just happen. I giggled when my husband assumed that delicious beans just came straight out of the crockpot. I mean, the crockpot is just one part of the process. It saves on the cooking time for sure... But my momma was the true genious when it came to beans. She taught me so much about the litle secrets that make beans so delicious. Like a rite of passage or something...A mexican girl has gotta know her beans!!! Of course, the only thing I'm leaving out is the non-nutritious element that made them so delicious...which is LARD!!! ahoooy! I've made mine with a little canola oil instead..left out the clog artering element, but hey a girl can't get everything she wants!!! My version are not as yummy as my mother's, but equally satisfying...especially when a girl needs to stay in her jeans!! P.S. Just watch out for the tooting!!!
