at least it's an ethos...

the most delightful chicken, black beans, & rice:

- add frozen chicken to crock pot with diced tomatoes, chicken stock, sautéed onion, jalapeño, & garlic, and a healthy shake of cumin & red pepper flake

- after a 4 hours or so make the rice of your choice (we always have jasmine around) using half water & half strained sauce from the crock

- add drained tomato solids from the crock to black beans that have been simmering in butter

- shred the chicken, stack high over beans & rice with a healthy dose of sauce, add a little tapatio, and weep with joy
