The curious incident of the soup in night-time

My husband told me a funny story this morning. Apparently, he woke up last night and went to get a glass of water. As he tiptoed quietly back into the bedroom, the loudest fart in human history ripped across the room. It had come from his five-foot-three wife.

He said that he still loves me and is still attracted to me.

We agreed that I won't make black bean soup again.

I love being married.

Incidentally, black bean soup is really yummy and I plan to make it again as soon as he goes out of town. Here's my recipe:

Black bean soup
2 cans of black beans
1 can water
1 cup reciato (Goya makes it in a jar)
2 chicken bouillon cubes
several dollops of sour cream
several slices of lime
salt and pepper

Heat the reciato over medium heat in a non-stick pot. Add the beans and water. Crush the cubes and add them in. Allow to simmer for 15 minutes. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a slice of lime. I like to make cornbread biscuits to go with this soup.

Makes about 6 servings
